The riots are turning the once peaceful city square into a destination of chaos. I lack understanding for this situation, there’s just too much violence. Why were the humans responding in violence? There must be a better way. However, I’m thankful I don’t have my LED. I might be seriously affected if people saw-

Wait, where am I? Why are there so many androids standing around me? I was alone and away from the chaos a moment ago, but now it seems I am in the thick of it. I hear so much screaming. About 4 meters in front of me stands a policeman, armed with a gun and shield. His gun is pointed directly at me, but he doesn’t look happy about it. I close my eyes and I hear his gun fire.

Now I’m alone again, standing away from the riots like before. What did I see this time? Whose memory was I peering into? That certainly couldn’t be a memory of mine, but why did I see it?

That policeman. He must know something. I must find him.

It is the 725th day since my activation. I face the same scene once again: humans are ambling around the store, their features illuminated by the white fluorescent lights from above. They gaze into the different cases, each one containing an android like myself. But today, a woman approaches me and makes a purchase. I can now do what I am made to do.

Suddenly, I can’t see my surroundings. I’m definitely not in the store, but I don’t know where I am. Before me stands a man who is tall and thin, wearing an expression of utter indifference on his face. But then the man looks at me, and I sense intense sorrow behind his eyes.

The next moment, I am back in the store. The woman who just purchased me is standing there, looking at me with a slight uncertainty. Why did I see a man just now? I’d better do a system check.
