I read this on Tor's website, where it was freely posted.
The story is from the POV of Morgan Ito, a roboticist who ends up taking home a partially built humanoid robot with the plan to model him after a Korean actor she fancies. As she slowly works on him, she builds a friendship with a coworker, Zhou Di, who is much admired as the daughter of a famous genius roboticist.
The story examines the complexities of relationships with friends, family, and even companion robots, and how these relationships might reflect on oneself.
