ARCHIVED HEARTS - The Stage

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAQy0Dt3La

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjDYUKsbTV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaHIotxwn7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkCEesnm3c

Everyone was looking at him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yr00bnXvG

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28rT5PDGcm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuaUVUFclh

Not me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHanWMW9CN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpHs3ZycdW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN7VXpI3ZK

Him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O8BgDaHNs

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTido5t3zXW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe28EP6oJkD

And honestly?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4cFMVIveu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9MhgV3QxE

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhMncfRmP8

I still didn't feel good about this.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM1mZqo32n

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFOe0uEED2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyV1RculHG

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79VmXyylEe

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevibbZ6nAN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYT2DV7CY9

It wasn't like I had a choice.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97l8RZbte6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkLeewlNDs

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bI8BglsDm

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZRmJiTVSR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVHJmBCq0U

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFRZCmLVHM

After the presentation, reporters surrounded me from every direction.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0heETudgb

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Gxzc4Ezu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYzytcjmpF

"How long did it take to build him?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD68l9LOoH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tEUYQ87Rn

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8hPIqgoCW

"Can he think on his own?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg2YzObANs

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtkcU8qBoY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLHCnZMa9t

"Is he dangerous?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyZPaxSjus

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczSQXR65iC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG5pAMvE1K

"What inspired you to create him?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQC7GDdbxG

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYLOLZTqwt

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUl1iH2T7b

I answered every single question as calmly as I could.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDTrUaPMbO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRZtXzkT7w

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTtDnxi4s1

Outside, I looked confident.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKwBvLOsGc

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxElRiHiqDE

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoL3Gnaavf

Inside?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13wGOKTHRL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5SjXRHQax

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8gho9MH1i

I was literally praying.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytT4iANkwD

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJY00Ay1u4

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOac8InAjg

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkn6leWRPi

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzyRFETQbL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07YkdGpXwi

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN85k59jVkm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccbbhlND2x

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUZKi7YBPi

"Sir..."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZP1x9lLaP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KjXOhxGVP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDYCwp1chW

He looked at me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcOiDQMdIh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42vRkhxFIX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSzvo8ojWz

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC4vTMKwoE

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9XcAuY2yl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXmRPjWTGS

I hesitated before adding,

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFRX4g9E0s

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdps5t9NLme

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07VQcNvW6v

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡParXvfTJRv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjndVq4nwVL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhxCNEgyjY

The official smiled.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33q2NlOIWH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrStR3XZX0g

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeV3wGbkkB

"No."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf6578ozvo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGErQlmuJ7U

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqueQM39uZA

...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSjxyWa13D

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanfi9IB9Wf

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dzFMPpphN

Wait.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwUlwVb9ii

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOR8zrR4IH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOt4NsE0wJ

"No?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6dKhpJ4G6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gFCcHofoe

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6al7FF834

"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyhyoIBLuE

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOkOefuR8O

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpgBdjgtLZ

For two whole seconds...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFPMeu6Hzk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCyuO4SqOx

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMzDGRxloq

My brain stopped working.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j9eZSnIzV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNPIEMTb65

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9nuSj9m0O

Then—

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR3xyROmdI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oeuVTF77d

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmMpJb33jH

"YES!!"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSosEqmgySQ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZnO5hnnMl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dQCd9pmRY

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEKfe9qnba

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAAhETI0Hp

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsB3IKtnWF

...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjhgivqi0d

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBpoP5AcXd

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbux2WzQx7

Shit.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFMjB6LV1H

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECb1LnpS4G

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoTQZiAhS3

I immediately covered my mouth.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64QEtUr6MB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuD12QLBV3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJawRkZFOT

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v3xedfqT2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNKtziOlFb

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDrK1JmqU

Great.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYTFxoMiSD

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCr47EGx77

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuLKGW6UXx

First official presentation of my life...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURZcBNlPDH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOuhVu1QoP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnfKkEaft3

And I screamed like I had just won the lottery.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ir3h0Ade6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY4wVAdiVK

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLxCtMtUIw

Amazing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSk27RM6oc

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJiJ3obfM

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWItwOjMSr

Absolutely amazing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54MZnllxaJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TlXCE6VJs

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNvTHEOVcn

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITGXURVzYm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVScLknZ6nC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYGySwrSED

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoAwaSRppp

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbWIVPWDXN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhkgMWp0nQ

Honestly?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnDLjw9OrI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATE1kqVYSq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr0iokj5VX

I couldn't blame him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwp5ELGQUu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAB2MvmobI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFR6KS4fT

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5mBuCFBDA

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qXpq5zai7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTW2Onw9CK

Meanwhile...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjljkOgosX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY2s2UNVsG

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9nJxK2U56

I was only five foot two.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIlXFSSVod

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpTu9B7CM8

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGYsGKv8qA

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OVX9f84SB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b93OnAbxl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLs1U7TAVm

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6sFQlgpT5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFcAv1vMHL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATYEcpITwE

I looked like a kid standing next to her bodyguard.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcYXopzoA5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyGlE1CQCa

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B9fZ3x3aI

There was only one problem.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8GB54TYnm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX50y0AlJ8Q

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ087uAcd2jb

I still hadn't installed his voice.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaqpOwlVpq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKZ8Mme9zn

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUYP0RinYo

So the whole ride home was painfully silent.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP4LsvM6jp

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3nxWi5cup

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahNv1hzMxE

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HFezpKZgm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeoD8LmeuZ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjalMjSKcro

The secret website.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36Yh8wv5vf

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsY0AuQf1

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwure1Q1tcq

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOqRmqBHz5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjiRJFdN0n

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDxj6oVqgN

Without those people...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa328tbBZRR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREWC6XSZUk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycryaSeErn

I would've given up years ago.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEfgyhigX9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfqaL4J22a

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAzCHjijJv

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhFUmxukHN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nxyZnPbru

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSfHCeKqvE

I typed my question.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrYu0mIeea

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrhh8TMwEh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPCng2AQjQ

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74C7mv2u96

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttpMTTQcPi

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8x7SdiHOE

Replies started flooding in almost instantly.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlWJtSK5dY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xz4PfHqtR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ152IHaVMt

One person suggested a voice model.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCwCnaQePi

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi3PwdSmGv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT7BEgIR3a

Another explained how to sync his old memories.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYUcHqOX3P

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfaiIp0Csy

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD1agPqUPE

Someone else practically wrote half the code for me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxlEQBStMm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK3RqCLhP5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQs1yn4Ih6

Seriously...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdTPbG3WBa

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkkpxGYDsB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvBuFaiDqX

The people on this website deserved free pizza for life.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OeCvDHYIB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKET5yqT5i7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbAzTg2dyK

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNoy7PX1pg

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ENh5mnV4

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmrWyq5cjm

I took a deep breath.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7noXdgmiI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ohwMVoLCT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgH1emORp0

Then pressed the activation button hidden behind his neck.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMIDQ9gZF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIslyLnvyUk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9UPUqOKwi

His eyes slowly opened.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv52u47r4lQ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ799pgefwMb

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ePQe1AhxY

The room became completely silent.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PDfyyE8Wd

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu03IRdTHsQ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IMQauuJEG

"...Hey," I whispered.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsJGHZIesq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqYmf2wjpf

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhJT9jArYB

He looked directly at me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjsTzXaTbW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUPrc6CiBa

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYJcEvdmw8

"Hello."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddEl2VR4up

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrIBDXO0Q9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggG89rSRK1

...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomCOkpohNj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw1WTGQ6kY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j5p9VPzlJ

WHAT.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP7N6KuQfU

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRaD4gYwN9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2XIfjpDSz

THE.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkXfTD9vqY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6F0h99jdQ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraPIL6dQla

FUCK.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCk5lwEPJn

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYHkhTQweh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2KQ0g1VRA

That voice...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRowSarIiwk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6k3RW5BZ1

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFo9aeVw2t

It didn't sound robotic.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD0iCeddmB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JmJDUs0vT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvbfuWCa0h

Not even a little.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg6yJjkXCk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm7wWMtKL6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7iYLa91vB

It was deep.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlJ85laoCI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyaCX3SVG3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6cNOM7RjM

Calm.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7T9A6j84o

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt73GFJXzw

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2SJmcbVME

Smooth.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtluZvZncce

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcSzXPeNCl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4owEQiKQg

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqspEOFhEW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohISl5EJtW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wo1qm70ha

I literally forgot how to breathe.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo1Xcbf5jo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcH5AKc4vE

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G2TCqOnZu

Control yourself.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB2MDpCyAA

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Gl1KLpmf

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25YtJn4hWn

He's a robot.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwdlI7pCaC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDuFJIaa8E

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIJffU1Dxh

A ROBOT.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmCKJw3DWj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNnqBnaErt

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29jAOuZPow

YOU BUILT HIM.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29hCUyYDdC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBasSYdrmj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukUDB1h5kl

Then he spoke again.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpPNjaPREc

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGQQwHRdlk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Phn6YI21

"Are you worried, My Lady?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlSVy7x3yO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFSRX5RLgz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHmbGAoij1

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsT9Ka6ymP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitUjFq1NUl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eSpYovXFS

Wait.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OApMOBTt4

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6VFGKQS3z

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTG7EkimuH

What the fuck?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcFZarJrAh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCidQfSEC2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxzYopHNNn

I nearly dropped my laptop.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37qeJYCHVo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Jm1qbeIC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4JJmKoihh

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5lsFjgJ9v

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmssrTrXurp

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3O33inuLs

Nothing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk30kUuvH8

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKdR8nEun0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOgZnYDtNG

Absolutely nothing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZiz4Ayncq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19xAmUCCWT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLoeXPP6dE

I looked back at him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsy3GNZSkk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0YIqyL6fg

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQl6aboZmy

"Excuse me?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrtuyH7Ik7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEYnsQ4ltq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugfzvRxoyR

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

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkQrEPpfRZ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yjw6M5v3q

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW7CblPmvC

He blinked once before answering in the calmest voice imaginable.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdCRkLxb1M

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzT1yhojE6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDAcM6HsLe

"Oh, My Lady."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp2oVsBhDu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE4LsPAJOV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIE3G4FYEG

"I only use that title for you."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwFCaFUdM7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeTRHGe9cn

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMacznrf1X

"You instructed me to."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5IlqOmLNz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDDeX0Df6x

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pNpUdN4oL

I frowned.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbtAsXISWS

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtYxFr5994

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIIuUU5Uv

"When?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIznUe7D0P

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1K4MNQERw

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Xst50qqM

"You don't remember?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNjLvNTX9r

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOVGt3dTZS

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68mJntFFMb

"...No?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewCBEilGFc

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtDSQV5KNW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGezkSl5rW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUVuCLHEgz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe7UlAewNy

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzvtzyhcjH

He needed to learn how humans behaved.
