    Summary

    Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesn’t ask questions. He can’t afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother he’s desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.

    So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself it’s just work. Just another job.

    But the android he’s sent to fix doesn’t behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets—for a moment—that machines aren’t supposed to feel.

    He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.

    Now he’s tangled in something bigger. Secrets, loyalties, and everything Dean thought he understood about free will and humanity.

    He’ll have to decide if being human is about what you’re made of or the choices you make.
