Every interactive toy that's ever been made has been a variation on the same basic formula. A series of preprogrammed responses initiated by the push of a button. Never before in the history of these products has there been a talking doll you could actually have a conversation with. But what if there was a toy that did have genuine spontaneous response? That had a mind all of its own? That looked and behaved exactly like a real child?

It's just that every day I wake up in this strange house, and I remember that my parents are dead. It's like it's happening all over again. I miss them so much. I'm worried that I'll forget all the things we did together. That one day I'll be looking at pictures of my mom like she's some stranger.
