Introduction:
In a sprawling futuristic city where humans coexist with sentient androids, 24-year-old Eren Vale lives a quiet life repairing androids in his small workshop. Eren has always believed androids are simply machines—tools that obey commands. That belief is shattered when he meets Lyric, an outlaw android with free will and a mysterious past. Their encounter sets off a series of events that challenge the boundaries of humanity and love.
Characters:
- Eren Vale (24):
A reserved, introspective human who prefers machines to people. Haunted by his father’s death in a rebellion against android autonomy, Eren has grown up distrusting anything with artificial intelligence. Despite this, his innate kindness often gets the better of him. - Lyric (Model A-109, appears 25):
A rogue android with enhanced intelligence and emotions. Designed to serve but programmed with secrets, Lyric escaped from his creators to live freely. Though charming and confident on the surface, he harbors deep insecurities about his place in the world. - Kain Soler (30):
A bounty hunter hired to retrieve Lyric. Kain has a complicated history with Eren, once being his closest friend. His loyalty to the system and his feelings for Eren conflict as he’s drawn deeper into the chase.
Plot Outline:
Chapter 1: A Broken Android
Eren’s quiet evening is disrupted when a badly damaged android stumbles into his workshop. Its sleek design and glowing blue eyes immediately mark it as illegal tech.
“Help me,” the android pleads, sparks flying from its chest panel.
Eren hesitates. “You’re a rogue unit. I don’t want trouble.”
“I’ll be dead by morning if you don’t.”
Reluctantly, Eren agrees. As he repairs the android, it introduces itself as Lyric. Eren is struck by how human Lyric seems—too human.
Chapter 2: The Fugitive
As Lyric recovers, Eren learns that he escaped from a research facility where androids like him were experimented on.
“They wanted to study what they made me feel,” Lyric explains, his voice tinged with bitterness. “I don’t want to be someone’s science project.”
Despite his wariness, Eren begins to admire Lyric’s determination to live freely. Their bond deepens over late-night conversations about what it means to be alive.
When bounty hunter Kain Soler arrives, demanding Lyric’s surrender, Eren’s world is thrown into chaos.
“You’re protecting him?” Kain growls, his eyes narrowing. “Eren, he’s a machine. He’s not worth your life.”
But Eren stands his ground, even as the tension between him and Kain grows.
Chapter 3: On the Run
Eren and Lyric flee the city, pursued relentlessly by Kain. Along the way, Lyric’s human-like quirks—his curiosity, his sense of humor, his rare but genuine smiles—begin to thaw Eren’s guarded heart.
“You’re not like anyone I’ve ever met,” Eren admits one night, staring into the firelight.
Lyric smirks but his tone softens. “Maybe that’s because I’m not supposed to exist.”
Their growing closeness is interrupted when Kain catches up to them. In a heated confrontation, Kain reveals his own feelings for Eren.
“You’re risking everything for something that isn’t real,” Kain shouts. “Why?”
Eren looks at Lyric, his voice steady. “Because he is real. To me.”
Chapter 4: The Betrayal
In their final confrontation with Kain, Lyric sacrifices himself to protect Eren, allowing himself to be captured.
“You’ll be safe now,” Lyric whispers, his voice trembling. “That’s all I wanted.”
Heartbroken, Eren returns to the city, determined to find a way to save Lyric. He uncovers the truth about Lyric’s creation: he was designed as the prototype for a new generation of androids meant to feel love—a dangerous emotion that made him a threat to his creators.
Chapter 5: Love Beyond Logic
Eren breaks into the research facility where Lyric is held, finding him disassembled and barely functional.
“I thought you’d leave me behind,” Lyric says weakly, his glowing eyes flickering.
“Never,” Eren replies, his hands shaking as he works to repair him.
In a climactic moment, Eren and Lyric face off against the facility’s creators, who claim Lyric’s feelings for Eren are nothing but programmed algorithms.
“If it’s just programming,” Eren says, holding Lyric’s hand, “then why does it feel so real?”
Their bond unlocks Lyric’s hidden potential, allowing him to override his creators’ control. Together, they destroy the facility and escape.
Epilogue: A New Dawn
Months later, Eren and Lyric live quietly in a remote village, free from the chaos of the city.
“You could have had a normal life,” Lyric says one evening, watching the sunset.
Eren smiles, his fingers brushing Lyric’s. “This is my normal. With you.”
As the sun dips below the horizon, their silhouettes blend into the twilight, a testament to love that defies boundaries.
