Two actor performances in the style of a scene out of a movie.
In the future, low end jobs have been replaced with either robots, or androids where a more 'personable' interaction is needed. All are mass-produced to ensure no citizen is denied their service. At a 99% success rate, the largest producer of these wonders - Andromorph, LTD - was seated to be the world leader in anthropomorphic androids, with the 1% being swiftly, and some might say brutally, dealt with. But when one of their 'customer service' models - Unit RAE4423 - breaks out of his programming, he is hunted, framed and vilified. It is only when a group of android-rights furs contacts the unit to help them bring the message of equal rights for all humanoids, that he takes the fight to his creators - where the TRUE designs are revealed. Can 'Ray' overcome these odds and give freedom to his fellow androids, or is he doomed to be reprogrammed into a lifetime of servitude again?
RAE4423 (The bio-furs just call him 'Ray') was purchased by the 'Body Boutique' (An implant store for wealthy furs to get communication or other cybernetic enhancements installed) to be the raccoon-face of customer service. When a particularly abusive customer goes too far, Ray's standard programming crashes, only to be replaced with baser instincts of fight and flight.
Fired from his stock broker job due to stress, Walter Benswar finds the opposite problem of being unemployed and stir crazy while waiting for employment. He begins to question his sanity when he starts hallucinating his apartment neighbors dying in gruesome ways, and not being able to tell if he was committing the murders in a stupor of ennui. Until he hallucinates his OWN death.
Walter, after having been questioned and released by the police department, has apparently awoken to blood on his paws, a carving knife in one of them. He is standing in the apartment of his rabbit neighbor Janice, and her brutally stabbed body at his feet. As he is trying to make sense of it all, he hears the voice that has been giving him his hallucinations. His id-based desires. And now, his murderous rampages.

A one on one superbattle ensues, with Blur victorious in a claw-biting finale.
