- Fear of being alone, fear of being abducted, fear of being afraid: You’ve abused of all your friends’ patience already and are even ashamed yourself of admitting what all your hidden fears are about, that’s exacly when you need a personal robot, a little doll you can talk to and that will reply with general reconforting sentences and answers: it dispenses tissue in case you start crying, it smells good like home and even comes with a pair of headphones in case you are ashamed anyone else might notice you are listening to your doll. Version comes also as non-distinct shape so it feels and hugs like a robot doll but does not look like one to your neighbour
