We live in a strange society now where robots are every day, but the market is still filled with poorly manufactured junk. If I want to get anything useful, I have to talk to other creators and producers on my level. Or at least, somewhere near it," he snorted.

It's regrettable, but he manufactures the kinds of circuits I like. My specialty was always the hardware and code rather than fine wiring." Kaede's lips quirked into a faint smile though it was unclear whether humor or superiority cause it. Kaede had always looked down on all his colleagues.
