a soft, squishy and pastel-colored robot. it boggles at you vacantly.

• hi!

it says, after an uncomfortably long silence,

• you can call me saturn!

it extends a hand politely, as if in greeting. you deign to ask it for more biographical details.

• i was minted 01 may 1995,
• and my gender is a magical mystery!
• i prefer they/them/their prounouns.

what do you do?
