Mrs. Hirakawa: "Paro answers and looks at me when I call it. Then I feel communication with Paro."
Nattie: "We still feel horrible just remembering Shelby. When I came across Shelby later in a box, I literally felt sick with guilt, just leaving him in there. When my husband saw what I was holding, his face just drained and he let out a panicked, "FUCK!" and tried to leave the room, but I wouldn't let him. Instead, we just both stared uncomfortably for a moment."
Sherry Turkle: "You can see seniors chatting with robots, telling their stories, and feel positive. Or you can see people speaking to chimeras, showering affection into thin air, and feel that something is amiss."
ovvl: "...don't take away my seal-doll unless you crank up the soma on my feed. (And give me a cigarette)."
