A question sci-fi has been asking since the birth of sci-fi, what is considered life? What makes a person, a person?
We follow a human raised by and AI, and an AI being raised by that human, but also how they raise themselves in environments they weren't intended for. Both "sentients" were created for a purpose, but grew outside of that intended purpose, and struggle through what it means to be more than what you were made for.
