Day 1,750

You don't understand - it's been so long since I last saw someone so organic and I just panicked. What else am I supposed to do when somebody shows up out of the blue and wants to interact with me in person? Who even does that any more?

I'm sure you're used to seeing people face-to-face, you deal with those troublemaking sorts all the time and I simply don't. My house is run by the carer-type android my parents sent to me when I left the schooling system, so that does all my errands and accounts for nearly all of my verbal socialising.

My workplace is all remote-based and our meetings are the standard VR chatlog type which is so much more efficient than those old-fashioned office cubicles. I don't know what my colleagues look like - I don't even know where they are in the world.

So I'm sure you can understand that seeing another human in the flesh, looking so uncannily like the androids that taught and raised me, it just threw me off. I acted purely on instinct when I hit them and I couldn't stop myself until their chest stopped rising and falling so erratically, so unnaturally organically and I just had to make it stop!
