章 50: Life is Hard

Eden opened his eyes and watched as Venus 88 left the ICU.

"Damn, she's hot," he remarked.

"I thought you were sleeping," Noa turned to Eden. "Who do you find hot? Me?"

"I said 'she.' Do you identify as a woman?" Eden tried to smile, but it came out more like a grimace. "Who else do you think? It's Venus 88. Unfortunately, she's not a real human."

Noa raised an eyebrow in response. "Venus 88? Really? I thought you were into real women."

"I am," Eden nodded. "But there's just something about Venus 88. She's the most advanced android model out there. Her movements are so lifelike that you almost forget she's not actually human. And her features are simply...perfect."

Noa shook his head, finding it amusing. "Well, I guess I can't argue with that. But she's still an android."
