"If you could spare some change..." the LVK3 model sat in the dust on the outskirts of the market. Whole sections of its abdomen were gone, sold just to keep him charged.

3 coins sat in front of him, but they were placed there by LVK3 himself. He had put them there hoping it would inspire passers-by to drop more.

The alley became busy as the dinner crowd began heading home, with people stepping over his legs just to get by. The air grew cooler, dimming into orange as the sunset. LVK3's battery monitor dropped one more notch.

"If you could spare some change..."
