Lumina Tech's new Eve unit quickly achieves global success, but tensions rise as Kit, the Chief Engineer, clashes with Philip over the robot's role. Philip pressures Kit to treat the Eve as a mere tool focused on profits rather than companionship, contradicting Kit's original vision. Frustrated by this shift, Kit resigns, ending eight years at the company. As their conflict peaks, the Eve unit unexpectedly detects hostile intent and requests suppression authorization, leaving the situation dangerously unresolved and hinting at imminent trouble.
