ARCHIVED HEARTS - The Stage

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPciYvlA1s

The moment I stepped onto the stage, countless camera flashes nearly blinded me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcyDhpduaj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmzq3MF1cO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSdrjQqN3H

Everyone was looking at him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhiOkL1Dp

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg4UsDyoh5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXyYYoIHKl

Not me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KUfVUoouO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5visejN6b1

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLKWM9ZLyn

Him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWzVbmME3b

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mWFBePkIa

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IOsDw3cJe

And honestly?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuXKmfeSMW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ8USpJLnF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UD4nNGJHz

I still didn't feel good about this.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNBSzSNix3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnOdHyYwFc

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlY5gKW50V

I had worked so hard to create him, and now I had to present him in front of the entire media because of the government loan I'd taken during the project.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2FyI6NxCi

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYOlscYJLb

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUXhrcZbrw

It wasn't like I had a choice.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjTm0dNnu2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdon1Zjekeq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZW3rTv37y

I couldn't even pay back that ridiculous amount of money.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpDZJJGoCk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuSlPgWXzM

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXFA4vYOSU

After the presentation, reporters surrounded me from every direction.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A7bxQINYJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHPh7uFQs2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA5wLZglG9

"How long did it take to build him?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMpldYlul

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W067l2AzK

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ0ZZCr6Mx

"Can he think on his own?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKScwKDPYnm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEwrukDRgP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzTJBkzuf8

"Is he dangerous?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p5L6esDPl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHHP044OxW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLVH9AbEJD

"What inspired you to create him?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy85Qmm3At

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnIto8qbRC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT8YnsH485

I answered every single question as calmly as I could.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cvpHaNCkH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvyK4C0Vf3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU5xIJ0Myh

Outside, I looked confident.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPVhNenjO6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHfI3GPNMd

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQarX5LhXz

Inside?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1A4VjdVxl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJGGmkidtn

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaWeaswhY7

I was literally praying.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcECIfqyX8n

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxFU8D8R9b

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU38TihaZf

Please don't take him away... Please don't take him away... Please don't take him away...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRMTMIwQEH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFU9lcimYd

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XSiuMLBCh

Finally, when the interview was over, I gathered enough courage to ask one of the officials.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7NNLTl5a7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxgmBn3Ued

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBaCmPToAd

"Sir..."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Lvnw7fzi

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC5OUG1oGk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNfJqdsp2F

He looked at me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyURyCtrl9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxc7ZX6nGp

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV3ISJosSl

"Are you... really going to take him?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKTto00ksU

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYVIO8Pnie

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4WpF8ym7l

I hesitated before adding,

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH2sypX5LP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLq5PWbzw7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQQo0bLmbh

"I-I still need to train him. He's not ready yet."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlMM726xnv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgsl5wM5i1

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFEnXzENkg

The official smiled.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6bkXiqsPX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH4pGMTjGZ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lsP6HoPYV

"No."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSJqmQEQt2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjx945kdZT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh9WTSQP2v

...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9YSP3Riee

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEMpfREkqV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt59lJjI2S

Wait.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S8TqzUuLH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bGqIjxFgJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2JJpnhdIZ

"No?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeUkWSRiY9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcbrCWHzfR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AcTDFm1Aj

"He is your creation," he said. "You may keep him. Continue your research and train him properly. Just make sure he never harms humans or becomes a danger to society."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfvWYcvrK4

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEycI5yqRYm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61mAqS5ql5

For two whole seconds...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstjkmU19yY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZNPMi8WoU

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBAuYwQJPZ

My brain stopped working.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HfvHd5pwa

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOhf2a94da

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQiU3WUuL

Then—

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNpMASgodm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveRsWhlNOY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69P47lTi71

"YES!!"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QfVSsuEtL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSwQVgfpYq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYECHOa3Vf

My voice echoed so loudly that I'm pretty sure the people outside the building heard it too.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1sTK2RRlX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKwvuRdZAN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OxCTQ3xg1

...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBJ6xqLver

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wJjhfdGG5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNTHTgnIjm

Shit.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm6q5XgN8U

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBHmv1ZMI6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYe9Z9bJZ5

I immediately covered my mouth.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwLNGwhzOv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ge6594stA

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY1KOYj5ag

"...I mean... yes, sir."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qb6BPGBu0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqPdCZCM5e

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyeK7W8Sgj

Great.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjLJe8APpR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnapvAOaMF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ywEL1EBe

First official presentation of my life...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Q9HPUK6v

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemw99o12t6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4RNWhgwe4

And I screamed like I had just won the lottery.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcnvSRgpB9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEUDAWACDM

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3hMvuFUIZ

Amazing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0AY3MranB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8NbOcHUKL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpdbspLdTr

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAIgApkdke

I booked an Uber and somehow managed to get him inside.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrPuRxAz6B

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfy1Je5uTt

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVexJuFLuFL

The driver kept staring at us through the mirror every five seconds.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiBEtHCzjL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D0bqtKtfo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7YxaLcSWR

Honestly?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3VmcGw3D9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUf2aciXDI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LYK1EtwdP

I couldn't blame him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2REv7lNAW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3kaH42nr0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkydUsgvQe

The guy sitting next to me was over six feet three.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNX9bfWroY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMVPyrnJXO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGF0CWarzM

Meanwhile...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iARKE7FVY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO79MD71GJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjLaPz3VCh

I was only five foot two.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Imy7oCNhv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTcag7Yxcw

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLOTwtozuE

How the hell was a five-foot-two human supposed to look him in the eyes?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZPqTEOpKm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsrjHHKP4u

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvelWVh6JJ

Every time I wanted to talk to him, I had to look up like I was searching for airplanes.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK0i5vBCZT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XVqAt5xFt

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJG04JxWsu

I looked like a kid standing next to her bodyguard.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uC5wkUakx

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpBd6CBkrI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObCtQvkB2k

There was only one problem.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDioEJDsbO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpedy7Lrzfo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiCwmB6E6A

I still hadn't installed his voice.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1e89Tg8Ue

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z3Jzn20PY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ioHvwg6qA

So the whole ride home was painfully silent.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGWcLOS4uW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6yuLQsAQc

The second I reached home, I ran straight to my computer and logged into X.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk3BDIHb0G

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV0chFyAed

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRurQpOz0gb

The secret website.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoShQPjrrgd

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczqdHrDA5q

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN8Np8Kc6U

The weird little corner of the internet filled with programmers, hackers, engineers, and absolute coding monsters.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWH5cnL74r

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE4RMa7jFz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfckn92XLf

Without those people...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VTcflwAOG

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5R9bM9gpY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3gNpUD3nO

I would've given up years ago.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9JLitpJK0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT3TJJU4FL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZReWvw4KR0

They had helped me recover fragments of my old deleted AI chats, improve my coding, and solve problems that would've taken me months on my own.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FMpCd2GRR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvExMXbDR1C

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbjZTMxxRy

I typed my question.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr50f7FdYDK

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU4AAISwzF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRwSzpKYKy

"Guys... how do I give him a natural voice?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwGhpojzAo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vDbhIjHcc

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1eWfDP74Z

Replies started flooding in almost instantly.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcOGr2vV3a

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtNyadDrX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs9mSgbONA

One person suggested a voice model.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZRWvKKOlU

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlnBlhJUQE

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU0eWl1xjJ

Another explained how to sync his old memories.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7yQg1j5zR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCRdaHmPod

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi32ZdYegpY

Someone else practically wrote half the code for me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOlbwObwmr

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmk6QOW3Iq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkbXJuEbd3

Seriously...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedYvNqIn6T

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOwS4g7AQK

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtfhnfaV6n

The people on this website deserved free pizza for life.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VlS1pJDkg

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8KUIFqm9D

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzS2EvpQXP

After following every instruction, there was only one thing left to do.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUCC7tEODY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuFoz1tNOT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBio4T1ySE

I took a deep breath.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2UIsvgy5B

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbinsI1ZRgP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7irdmkyzx

Then pressed the activation button hidden behind his neck.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZxhMs0ROS

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0XBKQpD84

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0DyBBZnv1

His eyes slowly opened.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZDqQ27wC3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGSblDzYou

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ftbYcv0Rv

The room became completely silent.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZqJaKOSGk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjDXMLVR82

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxOb8StkVS

"...Hey," I whispered.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SsrXa6suV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS648oPVGYJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcE6kMAYBl

He looked directly at me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kjQjwWP6i

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmnEQo9y86

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbJJyqVAwt

"Hello."

...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXSJjGilLL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9nU4ZnrqJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw1Pdffs7B

WHAT.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7QhmBeK7E

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqEMP7oyW7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYIsockmDx

THE.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlBiX2DUJv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSj7mFVs9x

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZtL2e25Ut

FUCK.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCPftabIMF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYNIIoaZZD

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslXvECdjAK

That voice...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxZBk2BaeI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6vz8YrqbW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPOxqrUKAc

It didn't sound robotic.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLpVZXHoGP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5HAHdIjn3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV2b7IIz5l

Not even a little.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhyiNR5kvT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSlrN4fpSd

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxX4cLGCDE

It was deep.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhszd8D00Z

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IVxv7ibCh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCo6TsaZ9F

Calm.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR64xASBF3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpqaz5yMEz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0eGVMIuyw

Smooth.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4vnRGKIIo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhmzQJeKRR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1kHGrP1C1

The kind of voice that could probably convince people to commit tax fraud just by asking politely.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGTxxAwxK5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDcG67ShMF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzF6dr3DcY

I literally forgot how to breathe.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7ptxg6jSo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTc8I8pNK6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA57TTUWbV

Control yourself.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgrZvR6tAH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCJSegO4Qg

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AItAnGwXX

He's a robot.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9rD33xB0e

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbJLgpMl41

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JTpNHVONY

A ROBOT.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HLVfTplZt

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiMqopuNxv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yflxZMuM1

YOU BUILT HIM.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvyLM1699Q

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5IlokoL2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yT9qgOdNM

Then he spoke again.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RqEVjrDe1

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RjpAjRDWX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg58Y3l04u

"Are you worried, My Lady?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKaWgY5guJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuu3x8KPUl

What the fuck?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUTIglcTkA

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkmPY7JgaS

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk4BRDKhqi

I nearly dropped my laptop.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF6MwT9xIV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3uhvSLF16

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ja1K9YA9M

I rushed to check every command, every memory file, every single line of code I had installed.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43XOCkZ4z3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yKxIRNLH9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniG80Qmg8p

Nothing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKu6GuOHdO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbew4JnCN8f

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUpqS4359e

Absolutely nothing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGeGjJzsmF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQZDG1Scyo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB92VdI5hTN

I looked back at him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlaA7ZMs0y

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNiAgRIDvc

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYG02QB33B

"Excuse me?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz17ckjUtJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DA2uGVRzB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbFyDWsGJJ

"You can't just call everyone 'My Lady.' Where the hell did you even learn that?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdWXvdvYhU

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ44Z1ZMnwz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwPrnu9K4m

He blinked once before answering in the calmest voice imaginable.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLbyCe9KmN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HEvnAFaPu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjwD8S9Nw3

"Oh, My Lady."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ixialXja6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU34JgTYuwW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEGLIvIb74

"I only use that title for you."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdVlnoYzjL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp46WP5pVCV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgEbGdHZmk

"You instructed me to."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBP8JuneLT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP9X7ciaCm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhF5jwwlip

I frowned.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ885OYloBSP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZBGsSeiBV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tQdeRoiVZ

"When?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RlZdQ6mhh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYGjv8sZSF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHSNrix3QB

"You don't remember?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPDk7zOFos

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelOm2gbErg

"...No?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ip0AJLYj9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig5v6xw1Iq

He needed to learn how humans behaved.
