"Susan! Watch out!!" Tutor shoved her out of the way, but it was crushed.

Susan sat at the dinner table with her parents and wept.

"It was just a robot," said her father.

"He's right, honey," added her mother. "We've ordered a replacement."

"I still want a funeral service. Tutor cared for me."

"Nonsense," responded her father. "It had no emotions."

Susan wiped away her tears. "Neither do you, Father."
