In a world where robots have gained emotions and replaced humans as the new corporate slaves, they live by schedules, commands and countdowns. Time measures their productivity, but is never used to live. On the day the disposal order comes, they give themselves names, take their own memorial portraits, and choose to return to the earth. For the first time, they ignore their programming and give time back to themselves. Shutting down is not a malfunction, but the moment they finally become who they truly are. If even machines regret a life unlived, what about you?
