This is the Therapy Robot Rhyme AU.
So when the Toy Factory Scientists/Workers are finished with everything the need Rhyme for, they decide to tell Lightman as they are still somewhat working with him on account of the deal the two business have.
Lightman has been aware of Rhyme's existence for a while now and while he didn't care what would happen to the robot at first, he has a renewed interest in him now.
This is because Lightman has gotten a few complaints about his Therapy Bots. While they are good at their jobs, some of the patients are intimated by how tall they are. The Therapy Bots tower over most patients and while the bots are relatively cute, some people just don't like that their heads are basically computers monitors.
Rhyme however, Lightman realizes, is smaller than most people and, when he’s not wearing his charging hat, kind of looks like a cute little rabbit. And with a little... reworking to his programming, Rhyme would be the perfect solution to Lightman's problem.
Lightman tells this to the owners of the factory and with a little persuasion (and a little bit of money) is able to convince them to give him Rhyme for the There’s House.
After all, it would be a shame to just decommission a perfectly good robot wouldn't?
So with Rhyme now in his possession, Lightman hires some skilled coders to do a little reworking to Rhyme's memories and programming.
At just like that "Rhyme" no longer exists.
There has only ever been Fig.
And Fig is a good little Therapy Robot.
Fig is a one of a kind Therapy Bot prototype. He was made in an attempt to make Therapy Robots smaller and cuter.
And if Fig does well there might be more robots like him soon! That's what Mr. Lightman said, after all. Mr. Lightman won't lie to him, right?
Lightman introduces Fig to the Therapy Bots of room 444 and tells him that he will be working/rooming with them for now. He also tells Fig that he should listen and apprentice under Macintosh as they are one of the best Therapy Bots that work here.
Macintosh, of course, is happy to help Fig! It's been so long since they've meet a new Therapy Bot! And wow! A new prototype? That's even better. Mac and Fig are on their way to becoming good friends!
It's not like anything bad is going to happen, like the Therapy House being shut down, right? ...Right?
