He creates original artwork, learns to play music, and even begins to write poetry. Meanwhile, the Martins begin to grow attached to Andrew, treating him more as a member of the family than an appliance.
As the years pass, Andrew's desire to become more human grows stronger, leading him to ask the Martins to help him undergo a series of modifications that will grant him the ability to feel emotions more fully.
