Virtual reality has an adorable and fuzzy future

As an animated character, there’s nothing remarkable about Henry the hedgehog. His quill-covered body is shaped roughly like a Rocher caramel-covered chocolate. He has a small, yet impressively flexible mouth and two large and very expressive eyes, which, at the moment, seem to be considering me.

I’m watching Henry (while he may or may not be watching me) during his eponymous nine-minute animated quest to find a single friend. Henry is companionless because his body is covered in quills and he has the unnerving habit of wanting to hug everyone.
