I disagree.
I think it shows Lenore is hanging on by a delicate thread.
She's programmed a robot to hug her, desperately looking for emotional comfort.
The fact that she has a kill phrase programmed into the robot hints that she's suicidal, and probably on more than just an ideation level. She's actually thought through the exact method and made preparations. She knows what the instrument of her death will be if she decides to end it all.
I believe there's meant to be something tragic in the figure of Lenore. Perhaps a nod to Poe.
