Oxford was the last one to wake up late since he almost spent all of his energy yesterday with them. He walked out of the bedroom and saw Ray and the robot having a conversation while Ray was washing the dishes. He didn't bother them at the moment. He then noticed that his breakfast is prepared on the table, waiting for him.
"Morning.", said the robot to Oxford when he turned around and saw the man who was taking a seat.
The man nodded back at the robot with a short yawn. Ray placed a glass of water on the table, earn his plate.
"Have you figured it out yet?", Oxford questioned the man.
"Yes.", answered Ray as he remained standing just meters away from him.
"Summarize it for me.", said Oxford.
"I discovered that his body has thin panels that can change his color and his appearance, the problem... he doesn't know how to use it.", replied Ray while he glanced at the robot who just sat down on the sofa.
"Is there another option?", questioned the man.
"I can create a chip that would be able to control it via remote or him.", answered Ray.
"How and where are you going to create one?", questioned Oxford when he stood up with the plate and carried it to the sink.
"Test section.", said Ray and Oxford came to a halt.
Oxford was staring at the man, who was also staring back at him while trying to understand his plan. He let out a sigh before walking to the sofa, where the robot is.
"Have you two talked about it?", Oxford looked down at the robot with a question.
"Yes.", answered the robot.
Oxford sighed again when he turned his head to Ray who was standing next to the sofa.
"When?", asked Oxford.
"Can be today, if you're in the mood.", said Ray.
Oxford nodded at him then glanced at the robot before leaving the two as he went to his bedroom to take a shower so that they can return back to the facility. Ray stared at the robot with a questioning look while taking a seat next to him. He doesn't need to take a shower since he already did when he woke up.
"Do you still remember your name?", Ray asked a question to the robot who just turned his head at him.
"Yeah.", replied the robot.
"Why?", asked the man.
"It's... complicated.", answered the robot in a low tone with a face that looked like that he just remembered something.
Ray understood Fier's answer so he didn't ask more any questions about it. He sat straight as he waited for Oxford to walk out of his room. He has no idea why he nodded at him and then went to his bedroom without saying a word. He doesn't know if it is a green light or red.
"I'm a sociable person.", Ray told the robot.
"I know you are.", said the robot.
Ray was in silent mode for a few minutes until the robot spoke again.
"How does it feel like to be a human?"
Ray looked at the robot before answering, "I don't even know if I am a human."
The robot stared at the fireplace in front of them that hasn't been turned on when Oxford got this penthouse. He always wondered about the feeling of sitting near a heat source like a fire. He sometimes requested Oxford to turn it on so that he can at least experience it but Oxford always refuses. He turned his body to his left to face Ray, who is still sitting next to him and started to talk about the moment that he and Oxford are talking while Ray was just listening in the living. Ray listened carefully to the robot's explanation, while also making sure that Fier doesn't feel down. Ray was glad when the robot voluntarily started to talk about it because even though that they just met, he considered him as his friend and soon to be his brother if all goes well with the three of them. Oxford walked out, wearing his black suit, from his bedroom at the exact moment when Ray asked the robot a question.
"Do you regret it?"
Ray glanced at the man who was approaching them when Fier slowly shook his head.
"You two alright?", questioned Oxford to the two.
"Yes.", answered both the robot and Ray.
"Let's go and try not to waste time.", Oxford told Ray after he fixed his necktie while walking to the front door.
"Is it ok for you that I call you by your name?", Ray asked as he stood up.
The robot nodded at the man and Ray nodded back at him before walking to Oxford who was waiting for him near the door. The two men left the penthouse and went back to the facility so that Ray can start creating the chip that should have the ability to operate. They were surprised when they arrived at the Section A-3 that is because they are only the two in the area, no one in the distance, not even the lady that always greets Oxford.
"Hmm.", uttered Oxford while they were walking to the elevator and Ray was looking around, searching for signs of life.
"Where is everybody?", questioned Ray when they got into the elevator.
"I don't know. I haven't received a message from the high societies.", answer Oxford.
"I see... maybe they're in a meeting?", Ray guessed.
"Maybe they are.", said Oxford before walking out of the elevator and Ray followed.
