I think we can make a connection with jeup's condition
since robots aren't being sold yet, we can have mark already purchased by another npc owner
they can meet up after he's been activated
maybe at the supermarket? have mark run errands for his owner
There's still SO much to figure out, but when I imagined Jeup, I imagined him weightless--- Bright and untouchable like aether... I imagined that, as a child, he was aimless and without boundaries. Wide eyes searching, even as he grew older--- He was nomadic, sought to pick apart and learn everything he touched before moving onto something new. And, like petrichor, though he wasn't one to be seen, he was one to be felt--- the type of person who left essence of his presence behind. But basically, he got into an accident at the age of 15 when he'd embarked on a journey to 'find himself' that led to youthful rambunctiousness and lost his eye-sight. He can see darkest grays and the faintest of shapes, but is still very much legally blind. His ailment serves to weigh him down, limit a spirit as airy as he is, but--- he fights it. He's slowed down, but he's not stopping. Stubborn and still steadfastly independent, he works at a local high school as a newly-hired guidance counselor because his persona is the type that levels with those kids. Yeahhhh---
