Government Issues Room Mate | Reggie

Reggie sat in his apartment on the sofa, staring off into space as flickers of light flashed across his corneas. He was watching a cooking video on how to make a Thai dish called rad na. The room was spartan, mostly full of the necessary equipment he needed to compensate for his 'condition' as he called it. The living room was like a garage in a sense, everything he could possibly need to care for his cybernetics and his specialized anatomy. The new handler was supposed to arrive today, he wondered just how long this one would last. He used to get anxious about it, like somehow this person would magically make them feel whole again...It felt like a sick joke, but it was better than sitting home alone and skipping his therapy sessions. The flicker of lights across his eyes stopped as he stood up. The reinforced floor creaked under his weight as he moved to a window. The view from the apartment unit was nice, not spectacular with all the neon bill boards clogging the skyline... but it was better than where he had been.
