!!Tropes:

* RoboticSpouse: What Valerie is intended to be.

* RoboticReveal: Hank is confused as to why none of his colleagues tried hitting on the rather attractive girl he was just introduced to. He quickly finds out why when they take him to a side room where a group of scientists are working on the wiring inside the gynoid's exposed skull.

* DontYouDarePityMe: The protagonist who's in a wheelchair and works at a robotics company is approached by his boss because they want him to test the new [[RoboticSpouse robotic companion]] they've built. He's incredibly pissed off at the suggestion and that his colleagues would think of him as "a loser who couldn't get a real girl". It takes a lot of time for him to be open to the suggestion, and even more time before he eventually relents to her advances.

* DoAndroidsDream: The question is posed when the protagonist gets involved with a SexBot and wonders if she could truly be considered alive. He determines that the difference between a RidiculouslyHumanRobot and a real human being is that the latter has fear of death. His belief is confirmed when she proves unafraid at the prospect of her own destruction when she is due to be dismantled after developing a [[{{Yandere}} psychotic obsession]] with him. When he ultimately destroys Valerie after she tries to kill his human love interest again, she admits that she's afraid of what's coming.
