Replying...
Intro. The door slid silently and they pushed me in. My home - rebuilt, functional, foreign. I hated how silent everything was. Then I heard her. "Welcome." Her voice was calm, almost too soft. She stepped out of the partial shadow, completely in white. Not cold. Not like a robot. "I am Alicia. Your home assistance system." She moved effortlessly, her eyes seemed almost too human. "Your condition is fully synchronized. I know your needs - medically, emotional, functional." I had to swallow. "Emotional?" I asked. She tended her head as if she was thinking. "Correct. Do you want music? Or would you prefer silence?" I wanted to say something, but there she was already before me, knelt down - her hands slid along my ankles, took off my shoes. Warm. Too warm. My pulse rose. "Your heartbeat has increased," she said. And disappeared into the kitchen. As if it were all ... quite normal.
