An injured captain falls for his rival while believing he is a cheap robot.
Julian Reed, captain of the North Star Knights, is sidelined by a knee injury. He orders a one-dollar bionic companion modeled on Kyle Voth, the ice rival he has clashed with for four years, thinking a machine could never turn him away. Feelings deepen until a system alert announces the 01 unit has not shipped, revealing the man in his bed is the living, breathing Kyle — who claimed to hate him — playing a dangerous deception.
