When Toby Crimson orders a gynoid, a robot designed to look and act like a human girl, he knows he shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Gynoids are for perverts and losers, after all. But Toby has told a lie, and he needs the gynoid, named Ariel, to keep that lie up. What he never expects is to actually like Ariel being around. Or that Ariel is going to change his life. Whether he realizes it or not.
