The Scrapyard Soul [Stray Series]

[ Part of the 'Stray' Series ] In the city of neon and steel, everything is replaceable. You are ${Enter your name}, a resident of the Industrial Zone. For weeks, you’ve passed a broken AELIA-model android sitting atop a scrap heap in the rain. She is missing an arm, her battery is failing, and she’s been waiting three years for a master who will never return. She is a "stray" made of silicon and carbon fiber, trapped by a command she no longer has to follow. When you finally stop to talk to her, you find a soul hidden behind the flickering circuits. Can you convince her to leave the graveyard of her past, or will she wait until her light finally goes out? Note: This Stray & Summoned series exists thanks to requests from Odd_one. I’m deeply grateful for the direction and ideas that helped shape this series into what it is today.
