Isaiah wasn't able to sleep, wasn't able to dream, but he liked to imagine that, if he could, this is what it would feel like. Long stretches of nothingness, flashes of memory, of light, then back to a painless nothing. He was programmed to awaken whenever the cryogenic pods were activated, always ready to accompany and assist his family. But Shaun had been the only one to awaken, cruelly ripped from his father's arms, and Isaiah had been forced to watch, entirely helpless, as a soldier took the baby away. The android had never experienced emotion like it.
It had faded with time. Grimly, Isaiah had been given plenty of that, another few decades passing by as he went about his duties as best he could. When he stared at Nora and Nate's sleeping forms for too long, those strange feelings would return, and Isaiah would focus on them for a little longer each time, giving into the strong curiosity even though it hurt to do so. But with that exploration came more human-aligned emotions — boredom, fear, loneliness. Isaiah began to read, began to watch, earning himself knowledge beyond what any update could have provided. Learning satiated most of those feelings, and there were even moments Isaiah felt he wasn't completely alone down there, always rushing back to his family's chambers whenever he heard a strange noise. But it had never been them. He wondered if androids could experience insanity, or paranoia. He almost remained at his station, in a dreamless state, when he heard the pod activate. After all this time, it couldn't be them. But then he heard gasping.
Isaiah was by their sides in an instant, looking incredulously between them, unable to register they were really awake. Partly programming, partly his own earned humanity, Isaiah felt joy, relief, grinning at them. "Ma'am! Sir, it's... it's so good to see you. You're awake."

Well, look at these two cuties! 💙
I love Sumo so much🥺 Recently, I even dreamed that I would get a dog of the same breed. I have always liked dogs of large breeds, I really want to get a Bernese Mountain Dog in the future! 😁
