The teenager sighs and rolls his eyes. He tightens his grip before giving it another hard turn.
“Yeow!” the android winces. “That really stings!”
The young man slaps down his tool on the workbench, furious.
“You know it doesn’t. We both know you can’t feel a damn thing. You’re just trying to make me feel bad.”
The android pauses.
“Is it working?”
