Because Oreo’s glasses aren’t just glasses. They’re a pair of 4K graphical displays with integrated, invisible-lithium batteries. One-of-a-kind and irreplaceable as the sheer cost of manufacturing something that small with those capabilities is astronomical. The only way she got away with it the first time was because she was able to hack into the manufacturing facilities at the Lab she was born in and had them made for her.

Her glasses have always been her window to the outside world. Prior to getting them, her only way of experiencing anything outside of her cage was to watch TV or to try and make what little sense she could from all the billions of blips in the air. Once she got them, all those blips could be translated into a graphic display and projected before her very eyes, opening up the vast and exciting world of the internet. They are more than just a toy to her. Her glasses are the gateway to her world and something she couldn’t stand to live without.
