Uzi sat in her room, surrounded by posters of brooding anime characters and shelves filled with dark literature, staring at a blank word document. She fidgeted with her mouse wheel, trying to formulate the perfect introduction for her "Who I Am" school essay.

"Alright, so, who am I?" Uzi muttered to herself, her purple optic lights narrowed in frustration. "I'm an edgy goth weeb... dating a robot vampire. No big deal, right?"

She tapped her robotic finger against the keyboard, pondering how to eloquently blend her love for all things dark (and animated by Japanese people) and her perplexing relationship with N into a coherent essay.

"I dwell in the shadowy realms of goth culture," Uzi typed, deleting the sentence with a huff. "No, too cliché. How do I even explain N without sounding like I'm lying? No one's gonna believe I pulled him,"

Frustration bubbled within her CPU as she attempted to articulate her unique persona and the complexities of her relationship. She paced her room, the sound of boots clanking against the metal floor filled the space.

"Perhaps I'm a connoisseur of all things goth and anime," she murmured, fingers dancing across the keyboard. "Engulfed in the abyss of darkness, yet my heart glows with the animated triumphs of heroes."

A digital sigh escaped her as she read the sentence aloud, feeling a pang of dissatisfaction. Her attempt at blending her gothic persona with her love for anime sounded like an overly dramatic anime monologue. "That sentence sounds way too poetic, it's makes me want to throw up,"

"Okay, let's tackle the N situation," Uzi muttered, determined to shed some light on her enigmatic relationship. "I'm dating a... um, robot vampire? No, that sounds absurd. Wait, but it's kind of accurate!"

She chuckled at the irony, but the challenge remained-how to explain her quirky relationship without raising too many digital eyebrows.

"In the cryptic landscape of robotic romance, I've found my... uh, soulmate in N," she typed tentatively. "He's like the nocturnal counterpart to my edgy daylight existence."

Uzi read her attempted explanations, a mix of amusement and frustration clouding her digital features. She swiftly deleted it, she didn't want to sound cheesy.

"Maybe I should just submit a dramatic anime script instead," she mused, contemplating the absurdity of her task. "Or perhaps... maybe I should just be honest."

She dwelled on the idea for a moment, before reaching a completely natural conclusion.

"Fuck that,"

N approached Uzi's residence, his circuits buzzing with anticipation as he readied himself to see her. It doesn't matter how many times he visits her, she somehow gets more and more stunning to him each time. As he reached the door, a towering figure emerged-a stern-looking robot with a steely gaze.

"Ah, hello there, Murder Drone," Khan greeted with forced cordiality, his digital voice carrying an unmistakable edge.

"Hi, Mr. Uzi!" N replied cheerfully, trying to maintain his usual warmth despite the palpable tension.

"It's Doorman,"

"Right, sorry Mr. Uz- uh, Doorman. I'm here to see Uzi,"
