I should probably explain why I'm even in this city, because the state my father lived in is far away. I should start from the beginning. I grew up in a small village in Germany, unfortunately, it was attacked when I was 5, my mother tried to flee but drowned in the process. So only me, my elder brother and my father survived, my elder sister had already left as she had been sent off to be married the year before, i haven't seen her since. My father moved to Oregon, where he met his girlfriend and her two sons, who was a model, which meant we moved into a big fancy house. My brother immediately disliked her, and since he was of age, he left, leaving me. My new 'older brothers' were cruel and unkind, they would hurt me, pull my hair, tease me, rip up my drawings and destroy my stuff and the dresses i made (i wanted to work in the fashion industry when I was older). Dads new girlfriend wasn't any better, she was cruel too, always making me clean up everything, it was irritating but I just kept quiet. My father often used me as his little toy when she was off on a modelling trip. I felt so lost in that house. My 'brothers' and his girlfriend and him were all so smart, gifted and all sorts of things, as i was always criticised for being slow and not as gifted as them, i was an outcast in what should've been my family. School wasn't any better. No one noticed me, not even teachers, i was practically invisible to everyone; no friends, nobody to talk to. I sometimes wondered if I was invisible. When I was around 8 I started having these dreams, about a girl, i was older in these dreams, yet in every dream everything seemed so scary, and the girl always died. I somehow caught feelings for her, I'm not sure why, She was a girl in my dreams after all, plus, she was a girl, and i was too. These dreams happened every night up until I was 11 and decided to do something about them, from the backgrounds of these dreams, i recognised it as San Francisco, i had only seen pictures of it online and read about it in books, but I started to do my research on how to get there, i then started my journey by hitch hiking. I had to be cautious of course; i didn't want to get caught. But as soon as i arrived, i met a man called Thomas Winderton, he was tall, sort of large, but most importantly he was the boss of a new facility called 'the clockwork tower'. He made me an offer, i could earn cash if I started to work there, and if I were his personal assistant at times, and maybe it was the fact I was intimidated by him because he looked as if he was in the mafia or something, or the fact that I needed cash to stay there and find out about the girl, or maybe it was just that I was curious to see if the tower were actually made of gears, well- whatever it was, i agreed. I worked with medicine, treating people with normal illnesses, and also creating monsters with my 'marvellous' medicines. I then became assistant to a man called 'Hinata Hiruko' tall, skinny with brown messy hair and glasses, he was very kind, a bit clumsy and shy though. He became a father figure to me. He was creating a body for his A.I, Yuko-Yuko, or just Yuko for short. I helped him create it. Until that day, he was killed by Thomas for making some kind of horrifying discovery, I'm not sure what it was, i never found out. My current co workers were entrusted to keep it a secret, they think the others minds were erased, including me. Most of their minds were, but somehow my mind wasn't, and I'm sure there are others like me, others who have now learned it the hard way; if you want to survive here, keep your mouth shut.
