A year had passed. Alice and Corr were now happily married, their love still as strong as the day they met. Corr worked daily for his company while Alice tended to household chores, running errands, and taking up odd jobs as she pleased. To most onlookers, they would seem to be a happy couple. But there would always be those with hate in their heart. As word got around, more people would begin to harass Corr about his “robot wife.” Alice was used to the stares of strangers, but now they would shove her, throwing things at her. And the things they would say… “She doesn’t understand what’s going on, he’s probably programmed her to think it’s normal.” “You think he has sex with her when she’s turned off?” Corr begs Alice not to listen to the hateful people. Their love is still uncommon in the Alliance, but with time more people will come around. If they could survive the violence, it would eventually lead to acceptance. ================================================== [Animists] Look at just how far we’ve fallen: Marry a synthetic wife. You’re a sick man and you know it. Such a waste of human life! She obeys your every order, Every twisted fantasy. Just an object you can play with; Fucking her while she’s asleep. [Corr] Don’t listen to them, Alice, You know our love is real. They do not understand us; Their hearts are filled with fear. [Alice and Corr] Two different worlds, Now intertwined. This bond we’ve made Will lead them to hate. We will never back down, Animist! [Alice] I promise you my choices are mine. Corr’s a kind and gentle man. Why should I not have the right To stand beside him, take his hand? [Animists] She’s just a toy for your amusement. It’s time to stop with this delusion. A robot cannot understand it; Manipulation and confusion. [Corr] Don’t listen to them, Alice, You know our love is real. They do not understand us; Their hearts are filled with fear.
