A boy and his father are playing chess in a beautiful home, wearing nice clothes, but the father gets distressed because his glasses are glitching. It turns out the beautiful world they live in is not real at all. When the father goes out to get new spectacles his old ones are stolen, so we see what poor state the world is truly in. The theft triggers the boy somehow and the boy goes out to find the father. The father ends up being harassed by militia men who hurts the father. The boy appears and we see now that he is not a human boy, but a dangerous military robot. The militia men are not scared and start attacking the boy/robot. Seeing his own reflection (being a robot) and seeing his "dad" getting hurt triggers a defensive mode in the boy/robot which takes care of the militia men. The boy/robot and father go back home, where the boy/robot is confused and the dad is apologising. The robot/boy says that he loves him anyway and allows the father to delete the memory so the boy can go back thinking his just a boy.
