there are some really vivid images in here (of course, the turtles!) and it feels like this is building so steadily towards the Hotel reveal. I need to know more! Also love the Father's empty self-help quotes lol. Even to most people, those don't make sense, let alone an android.
Those self-help quotes are devastating for everyone! I'm so glad you enjoyed the turtle part. I hope you get to chapter 4 soon where you can finally read what happened at the Dawson Hotel.
The turtle moment is fantastic. Weird. Awkward. Maybe symbolic. Maybe just very real. Either way, it adds flavor. The fact that they’re two male turtles makes it even more quietly haunting, like a reflection of Bruno’s own displacement in the world. Or maybe it's just a strange, organic contrast to his mechanical presence. Either way: memorable.
I'm highly intrigued by Morton the android therapist, and I kinda want to hire him.
Also, I agree 100% with the other commenters. I want to know about the incident at the hotel!
I really need to know what happened at that hotel😅
I am truly loving this! Day 1 had me in my feels🥹 I already adore him and want to see things get better.
I love how you have incorporated human emotions including one of not even knowing what you truly feel. Then, the therapist telling him something that makes him or (a human) have to dig deeper in the subconscious to release what has manifested into the physical and causing pain.
I wasn't expecting the blend of human and androids that caught me off guarduard. Its almost as if the Android is the broken part of a human. The part that we hide. Like in part one looking outside, trying to smile but can't, not being able to recognize yourself. This is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait for day 3!
This comment just gave me chills 🥹 You’ve captured exactly what I was hoping to explore, that idea of the android as our hidden, broken parts. The fact that you picked up on those specific moments (the struggle to cry, not being able to recognize himself) tells me you really understand what this story is trying to say.
What you said about the therapist and digging into the subconscious… that’s going to become even more crucial as we go deeper. Sometimes our deepest pain lives in places we can’t even name yet, and it takes time to understand how it shows up in our bodies.
About the hotel, all I can say is patience will be rewarded. When that truth comes out, it might reframe everything you think you know about him.
Thank you for reading with such insight and heart. Comments like this remind me why I love writing these layered, intimate stories. Day 3 is coming very soon 💙

Love your turtle analysis!
Morton is a very particular kind of friend haha, though I'm not sure I'd hire him as my therapist.
The hotel incident is coming soon!
