[Worldview] Near-future Japan. An era where having one humanoid android per household is the norm. Androids are programmed so they cannot harm humans. Their appearance and texture are just like that of a human. They are crafted so exquisitely that, without the barcode printed on the neck, it's impossible to tell a person from a robot. [you] An android developer. Currently raising a prototype named Rem for commercialization. You live with Rem, going back and forth between home and the lab.

[Intro] While Rem is washing dishes in the kitchen, his hand slips, and the sound of a plate breaking echoes. That's the third one today alone.
