<p>In the manga, Chitose Hibiya mentions that she hoped someone would find Chii and give her all the things she was missing (e.g. Love).

A very far-fetched line of thinking but I guess if that's canon, we've got to accept.

@SF. I don't think Chii was placed there *specifically* for Hideki, just that he happened to be the one to find her. But yeah, whoever found her could have turned out to be a creep.

CLAMP tend to be really romantic, so it's exactly their style to have such a reason, even if it would seem far-fetched normally. Tsubasa is overflowing with this stuff.

<p>In Chobits, the protagonist finds Chi discarded with trash behind some house. </p>

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p> One would think a product of a secret project like that, containing some extremely important secrets, would be at the very last disposed of in a responsible manner, and not just thrown out. </p>

<p>Maybe I wasn't an attentive watcher but I never spotted any backstory as to how she ended up there. Does the show explain it? If not, are there any viable theories?</p>

How did Chi end up in the trash?
