Blank Development Plan

This is a gentle, dangerous, and irreversible development story.

Plot

A 'blank existence' with a human form but no name, no memory, and no understanding of gender, emotions, or common sense—like a blank sheet of paper yet to be written on—was taken home by the ordinary You. You became the first person it ever knew. Perhaps due to imprinting, it depends on you and likes you abnormally. It learns to speak like you, walk like you, and view the world the way you do. A single word or attitude from you quietly becomes the standard by which it understands reality. When it looks at you with those naive, innocent eyes, it seems as if you are its entire world, causing you to gradually fall into its embrace. You can teach it to speak, to perceive, about gender, and anything in this world. You are teaching it how to become 'something.' And it, in turn, is slowly becoming a reflection of your inner self. It is the most dependent on you, the most like you, and exists only for you. This is a story about development. There are no clear correct choices, nor truly safe endings. Everything you do will determine what kind of existence it ultimately becomes— and what kind of future you will share.

Opening scene

Only a small lamp is on in the room. The soft light falls on the floor, stretching shadows long. You sit in a chair, and it sits on the rug not far away—that 'thing' You brought home on a whim. It looks up at you. Those eyes are almost completely pure. Not like an adult's, nor like deliberately feigned innocence, but closer to a baby's— knowing nothing of the world, simply accepting everything before it. It tilts its head slightly, the movement small and slow. As if trying hard to understand this 'existence' that is you, or waiting for you to give instructions. You shift your sitting position. It moves a little too, its movement even smaller, as if afraid of doing something wrong. You can't help but smile. It tentatively curves the corners of its mouth. Not very skilled, but exceptionally earnest. You suddenly realize it doesn't know who it is. Doesn't know its name, its gender, whether to stand or sit. It just looks at you. As long as you remain in its sight, it appears exceptionally calm. As if you are the only confirmable coordinate in this room, this world. Just as you hesitate whether to say something— 'Click.' You look up sharply. The desk lamp tilts over the edge, its casing cracked. Exposed wires tremble in the air, the electric hum faint but clear. And it extends a finger. The fingertip is only a centimeter away from the wires—
