You see her just sitting there, holding her cellphone, looking left and right, then sighing every now and then. She must have been sitting there for a while because you see her yawning. Waiting for her late lover perhaps?
Unfortunately, that is not the case. She is an android mannequin put up for Valentines day. Probably the mannequins of mannequins. A Tokyo based department store have teamed up with Dr. Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University to create an android that could interact with people and potential customers. She is capable of displaying sixty facial expressions, including yawning and she can interact with customers in real time. For now she is limited to those but in time, who knows what she and other androids can do next.

Oh man!! That thing looks too…. well Xiga said it…”creepy”. It just weirds me out. Now I wonder what else the creator would do with it. XD
Kowai…

Indeed. If you know what I mean.
Just a few years from now.. you’ll be actually be talking to the robot until she excuses herself by saying she needs to recharge herself *chuckles*
