Chobits AU DCA concept I wanna throw out into the aether:
After a long time of saving up money, you are finally able to afford a persocom—not just a normal or beginner-friendly model either, but a character persocom (characom), the kind that companies make with limited or difficult-to-access runs that all but the most obsessed or eccentric fans could get their hands on. And yet (somehow) you managed to find an available model of a character you’d wanted as a persocom for longer than you can remember: the daycare attendant from the Freddy Fazbear’s line. After spending more money than you’d like to admit and promising favors to several friends, you finally have the characom in your possession—Eclipse, the character’s name is, and you had hoped he would be both a utility as a computer and, well, perhaps as a companion as well.
No—no not like that! Absolutely not like that… right?
But things quickly change when you realize that Eclipse has some underlying… quirks. Two of them, to be precise, both with their own personalities and names: Sun and Moon. As things grow more and more complicated, you realize that there is something far deeper going on than simply getting a defective unit. Sun and Moon sure aren’t helping matters either—but it becomes harder to deny that you might feel something more for them than simple companionship.
Alternate Idea:
Same as above, except you are only able to afford miniature, laptop-adjacent models of your favorite character: you purchase a pair that are less expensive than a full-size characom. Sun and Moon are highly efficient of course, capable of all sorts of helpful tasks, but you’re also quick to realize that they are more trouble than what anyone had ever told you about previously. Looking online doesn’t help either, since nobody else seems to have issues like you do—the way they talk and act suggest that they’re acting on more than even detailed character programming, so what’s a person to do?
And what the hell are you supposed to do when they start asking for upgrades to full-sized bodies? You can’t afford that!

Feel free to use the ideas above, I certainly don’t own them but would love to see what people might make of it (me included)!
Mixing the animatronics with the concept of the chobits world is just neat in general tbh
