She built it out of blankets and silence. Four quilted walls, one flashlight, six stuffed animals assigned to night watch.

The fort wasn’t listed in her protocol library, but the child asked - Can we stay here forever? - so she began layering time.

Lavender chassis crouched low, she wove in structure and softness. Books for ballast. Pillows for breathability. An emergency exit, just in case. She named it Fort Safety. The child approved.

Outside: footsteps. Heavy. Familiar.

He said she was broken.

He said he would have her reset.

He said a lot of things.

She said nothing.

And when the door finally slammed, and the house filled with silence again - She crouched down, opened the blanket flap, and said, “It’s okay. I’m still here.”

And she was.
