I am from the year 2064. To be more specific, December 25th, 2064. [ Yup, they literally got brought here on Christmas. Womp womp. ]

By adoption, I'm referring to-- [ "Purchasing a ROM." That...didn't sound right, especially with all ROMs being sapient now. Turing frowned in thought. ] I'm referring to the action of humans accepting a ROM into their household and becoming their companion.

[ Much better. ]
