……it's a salamander!"

It's hard to explain or understand how Dolores's great enthusiasm for the species "salamander" originated and developed, but in any case, every time she went out with Dolores, she would show the same excitement as a child seeing a doll whenever they happened to pass by a Trading Center, encounter salamanders, or even see a billboard painted with salamanders. One might have thought this special interest was somehow connected to Dolores's nature, but after inquiring with all the salamander family members available, they also found themselves puzzled about this.

However, this search was not entirely fruitless. After passing through Cape City, Mrs. Fu Yu had a friendly suggestion: "Since this child likes our family so much, why not make some toys for her?"

A few days later, a large package of salamander-shaped pillows and cushions was sent to The Eternal. To avoid some dreadful possibilities, Mrs. Fu Yu didn't choose any actual salamander portraits as prototypes... In short, these pillows and cushions are cute and handy shapes, just right for a young girl to hold in her arms.

Dolores liked them very much. However, she would always look at these pillows with a thoughtful expression. Since she already knows that pillows are not suitable as food... then she should know that salamanders can't be used as food either, right?

It would be best not to let Mrs. Fu Yu and her family know about this.

When it comes to what to eat and what not to eat, Doraemis has her own set of preferences. In theory, she can consume—according to Anita's report, "devour"—most things in the world, but she doesn't eat just anything. At least Chen Shuxian's creative birch soup is not on her menu. As for the general items widely available on The Eternal, she is quite enthusiastic about trying them.She tried Eliot's game cartridge and concluded that it tasted very strange, so she didn't eat it (everyone told her this taste was called "bitter"). She went through everything in the refrigerator, and after enduring many interrogations like "Where's my meal?!" "I was saving that pudding—ahhhh!" "Where's my unfinished milk?" Doraemis discovered that not everything labeled as "edible" in the world is actually edible.However, as an individual known as "Doraemis," why does she have such a great enthusiasm and need for the process of eating or devouring? If this is her way of perceiving the world, how was it formed?

Human cognition often relies on our own senses. Current research has proven that CR also have senses and perceptions similar to humans, and they can make some simple judgments... but whether they possess the ability to think, or have "intelligence" like us, remains an unsolved mystery.As a leading company in the research of CR, Anita Energy is closely studying all aspects of them by continuously narrowing the distance between CR and ourselves. Take my research project as an example, the special mimic CR individuals I captured...Someone's voice. A lecture. A lecture from a few months ago, a script she wrote by hand. Since the audience was not made up of professionals, it was important to explain the content about CR as plainly and interestingly as possible.Say goodbye to the test subject before leaving the laboratory. It just stayed motionless against the glass of the protective room.The lecture went smoothly. Proudly educating people who lacked understanding of CR, mentioning the name of the test subject... People were very surprised.Why name it? people asked.A few months later, a serious accident occurred. She found herself in a life-threatening situation, with only the mute, special test subject as her sole companion.Ah, in that case, if one could gain rebirth... what kind of name should be given to such a life? What should it be considered? Human? CR?... "Friend"?Gently cradling the other, swallowing it at that moment, she understood. So this is "me." The protective room no longer existed, language lost its necessity, and the barrier of the Morphic Field was meaningless. "I" am me.From that moment on, Doraemis, who merged with the "friend," was born.
