Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, is designed to be a playmate for real children. From her place in the store, she watches the behavior of those who come in to browse, and those who pass on the street outside. In conversations with the other AI and the Manager, she remains hopeful she will be chosen. When a possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.
