The original name for the story was Don't Say No, and I wrote my first notes to it about 7 years ago. I still have a notepad file with a couple of songs I liked at the time and a lot of thoughts I was supposed to discuss in the story.

Well, what hasn't changed is the the picture that inspired it. Vlad, your art is something outside of this world.

I just love this picture, it always reminds me of something that never happened.

And this is what the story was supposed to be about, a romance between an android and a girl who found him at their office door nearly frozen to death.

But the time passed, and I've found new inspirations, new meanings, and a new romance. The thirst part of Philippe's adventures is completed. I'm currently working on the second and the third parts, and many things should be explained there while the story unravels, but I hope that even now Philippe's actions look like the actions of a real person, not a robot conrolled by the ML algorithms.
