Otto suddenly jolted up as he felt a soft tap on his shoulder, he looked to his side and saw the robot girl once again. "Are you okay sir?!" She asked worriedly, "Oh yeah yeah, I'm fine... Sorry about that.." Otto reassured the girl, "Okay good, you went completely quiet and it seemed like you were in a daze", "well I am fine now, thank you for trying to help me", "it's my pleasure!", the girl responded, however silence soon followed. Otto didn't want to ask for her name, he wasn't sure if the robot would be comfortable telling him, and he completely understood if that were the case, he looked down to his phone and took note that the time was 9:15. "My name is Eve.." The girl said blatantly, "huh?" Otto was caught off guard and was unsure what to say, "That's my name.." the girl repeated softly, "I'm Otto, it's nice to meet you Eve..", "It's nice to meet you too Otto..", it felt as if Otto and Eve had shared a moment, taking in the sun rise together and expressing their love for the moon, it was definitely odd to Otto, but he didn't mind, if anything he kind of liked it. "Now Boarding New Harleton Station!" A train rang out in the distance, Otto watched the tracks as the train pulled in. Otto grabbed his bag and headed for the doors, he wanted to turn back around and say something to Eve but couldn't muster up the courage. Otto entered the train and the doors shut, but as it was taking off he saw Eve brightly smile as she waved towards him, Otto smiled back and promptly waved back. Otto walked over to one of the windows and looked over the city, "I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world, this is what keeps me going." Otto claimed to himself, his interest in watching the world change around him had kept him passionate about his job, and motivated to work every single day, It's what 'she' had passed onto him. Otto sat down at the window seat and looked through his phone, scrolling through the news, apparently new V6 robot types had been released that same week. "These bots are getting more and more advanced every day I swear" Otto sighed as he continued to scroll, resting his head on his left hand. "I hope Cone isn't mad at me" Otto thought to himself, his boss was usually forgiving but Otto was pretty damn late today, it was likely his boss would be furious, but he had to wait and see.
