In a world where emotions are banned, a boy’s act of kindness turns him into a machine.

In this society, artificial intelligences handle every task deemed unnecessary. Emotion and spontaneity are no longer tolerated – they’re considered "a waste of time."
One day, when a young boy returns a lost toy to his friend, he is spotted by the AIs, and immediately diagnosed with a "thought disorder." He is sent to a specialized facility, where he undergoes a radical neurobehavioral treatment designed to "recondition" him. When he wakes up, he is no longer a child, but a navigation robot.
