In a lifeless item destruction factory, an old model labor robot encountered some unusual situations while working. When it saw a flower struggling to grow in the waste bin it was holding, it began to doubt itself and its surrounding environment, gaining self-awareness. Another higher-level guard robot noticed that the labor robot had stopped working and attempted to take the waste bin from its hands to maintain order. As a result, a struggle ensued, and the labor robot was inevitably destroyed. Soon after, when a patrolling security robot saw that small flower growing from the remains of the labor robot, it exhibited behavior that seemed similar to that of the labor robot at the beginning of the film.
