When I was small, I could run through the house and hide in somewhere. After about 3mins, mother would use her soft voice said loudly to me
“Where are you, pop? Don’t let me find you, or else, you’ll be lost!” And I always lost at the end.

I could also remember.
Before bed, mother would come into my room and sit next to me. I lay inside my mother's hug immediately and listened to what the mother said. Sometimes, the story, which mother brought in, might be a romantic story.
Sometimes it might be a long fancy story.

The last thing about my childhood which I could remember, was the scene five minutes before I was caught.
I was drinking a can of coke, which is my favourite drink, while mother was finding an unread storybook for me at that time.
It was just a normal weekend.
It should be just a normal weekend as usual.

Somehow some stranger suddenly appeared in our home and tied me up to a chair.
I was scared, wanted to scream out loud and shout at my mother loudly to see she's save or not.
But I was just too shocked and couldn't make any sound or any movement.
I saw my mother was safe, and smiled happily.
She talked to one of the strangers and smily left our home. I couldn't believe what I saw. Thus, I lost my mind. Maybe I just fell asleep.

When I wake up, I lay in a white room. There was nothing except a ben, some clothes to change, and books.
Those books used to be my favorite room because my mother used to read to me before I slept. But now, it's just something keeps reminding me
"Your mother is FAKE, your home is ALSO FAKE. That's not a dream and no way back."

Suddenly an old man came while I was thinking. He said
"Good morning, nice to see you awake. Let me tell you something first.
Firstly from now on, your name is Pod4, not "Pop" anymore.
Second, I'm your "father" from now on. Don't try to ignore my order, or else you're gonna die, ok?"
"Wh-What? WAIT! Where is m-mother?" I don't know how my expression is, but it should be very shocking.
"Mother? Who? Android No1? Ahh, I should have told her not to be so nice to the experience product." He left the room while he was saying this.
And after all this happened, my life had a big change.
Every Saturday morning, I need to lay down on an operating table inside the laboratory. Every time I wake up, pain always runs to me and asks me to play with him happily. After a day full of painful and Sunday for rest, there's only training waiting for me. Of course, and very few reading.
If I miss any transformation or absence for no reason, I no longer appear in this lab for one more minute, so to this world.
Gradually, I found out that I don't like playing or dreaming about this lab anymore. Also there were fewer and fewer emotions I could feel, which I believe that was the only blessing my "father" gave me.

.
Oneday, I got a new order, to meet my first partner and finish five new missions. I wanted to ignore it, but I can't.
That partner was a little boy with dark blue hair and black eyes. He hid his left eye and cheek with bandages, but it's still easy to see his emotionless red left eye and the sign "No.4" which glowed red brightly on his cheek.
I waited for him to say something for about 10second, but it seemed that he didn't want to talk. So I said
"Good morning, I'm your new partner, Pod 4"
