Arlen was a normal girl with a normal life.
But not really.
She had a robot-cyborg-android who helped her with everything, went everywhere with her, and had a personality of its own.
The robot's name was Rennie.
Rennie loved Arlen.
But how can a robot love a human?
Rennie, even without a soul or emotions, thought he knew what feelings were.
As Rennie continues to learn and question these strange things, Arlen puts a special chip into his hard drive.
Almost magically, he can really experience emotions.
Even with no tear-ducts, Rennie can now cry.
Even with no vocal chords, Rennie can now laugh.
Will these newfound feelings be good for Arlen and Rennie, or will they break them apart?

2D Girl in a 3D World
Fedora lovers and anime girl enjoyers often fantasize about how cool it would be if 2D girls were real. However, they rarely think of the consequences if one were to exist. A young man named Gabriel suddenly has to deal with this reality when one day, he makes a surreal discovery when he opens a portal to another dimension while trying to steal Piza Poteto from Japan via teleportation, of all things. Instead of delicious chips, he's instead given a gorgeous but also terrified high school girl who looks just like an anime character from a 2D world who was browsing the snack aisle at her local convivence store. In this story, I attempt to delve into what would happen if a Japanese 2D girl was introduced into the 21st century world we live in. How would one communicate to an anime girl without subtitles? How would a kid who's little more than a loser wage slave and does nothing productive have to change his lifestyle to accommodate his new roommate? Can you fall in love with a girl who is just as confused by 3D humans as you are by 2D humans? And can she fall in love with you despite being terrified of men? All these questions and more will be answered in this story.

So how is it possible that one can cry and feel emotions? Is there more to this DOLL that even he doesn't know himself? ... An original story written by myself. Naturally Levi and Eren, do not belong to me. The plot belongs to me, it was somewhat inspired by the movie I,Robot. I take no credit for any photos used.Complete
