project: Hug-Bot (Story)

[Started in 2022]
''Hug-Bot is a machine designated to spread and encourage positivity.''
Auden has always ended up getting involved with the wrong people, and one of those involvements resulted in Antisepticeye hiring him to create Hug-Bot.
Auden and Hug-Bot have been struggling to find peace ever since, trying to find balance between bot's main objective to spread #PMA and help others, and the more nefarious secondary objectives that Antisepticeye demanded bot would have.

This story starts after the events of the Journal, although might chronologically line up with later entries in the Journal.
Hug-Bot haven't heard from its creator in a while, it's not sure where it is, and its database is full of corrupted data. It's been previously freed from its secondary objectives, and now it's on the verge of losing its main objective - positivity.
