English
Roz the robot came to an island ー inside a crate.
There had been five crates, each containing a robot, but four of them crashed on the shore and breaking those robots apart ー remaining only Roz, still sleeping.
She was accidentally booted up and her life begins in the island, without knowing even where she came from.
A story of a robot.
A story of animals.
A story of love ー in many forms.
She has no emotion.
But she has her own instinct for survival.
To survive this wildlife, she tries to communicate with animals by learning their way of speaking.
She has no emotion.
But she has a sense of being alone, too ー even though I don't know whether she feels lonliness or sadness in it.
This is a story of a wild robotー
The wilderness really can be ugly sometimes. But from that ugliness came beauty. You see, those poor dead creatures returned to the earth, their bodies nourished the soil, and they helped create the most dazzling spring bloom the island had ever known.
