Opening behavior account of subject: Nanami. 19 19 301 MPA-01 ...Her character is constantly reshaping. Her personality data is normal. 20 20 301 MPA-01 Currently, her thought process and behavioral logic are akin to a human's. Out of the twelve humanoid subjects, only Nanami has shown this trait. 21 21 301 Female Researcher That's right... She's special. 1 22 22 301 MPA-01 I switched to Personality 134 in order to have a more effective conversation and record changes in her emotions. 1 23 23 301 MPA-01 But she questioned my behavior, believing I was not talking to her "as myself." 1 24 24 301 Female Researcher "As yourself"? 1 25 25 301 MPA-01 Without activating my personality module. 26 26 301 The administrative AI sounds hesitant. 27 27 301 MPA-01 I have performed self-test on all my modules, but I have not detected any anomalies. This happenstance did not occur in my conversation with other subjects. 28 28 301 Female Researcher It seems that... only she can notice the difference. 1 29 29 301 Female Researcher In that case, do as she said. Talk to her "as yourself." 1 30 30 301 MPA-01 Understood. 31 31 301 Female Researcher ...You called her name instead of her code, didn't you?

The gray-haired girl's eyes are closed as she lies still in translucent fluid. 42 42 301 Laid down next to her is an identical humanoid body. A cable connects the two of them, and shimmering blue lights goes back and forth along the cable. 43 43 301 Behind a thick glass wall, several humans in suits are observing the process. 44 44 301 A human in a white lab coat stands in the front, vivaciously describing his ideas. 45 45 201 1 500138 46 46 301 1 Male Researcher ...Unlike machines, our organic bodies never stop changing. 1 47 47 301 Male Researcher Humans consume food to gain nutrients, which are transformed into our muscles and bones.

Once machines possess "free will"... Don't forget that the machine consciousness experiment was launched to negate that risk. 2 57 57 301 Person In Suit We are preparing for the future. 2 58 58 301 Male Researcher If the essence of the universe is information, then the codes in computer programs can also be considered a form of life. 1 59 59 301 Male Researcher Isn't that one of the reasons why the Science Council named their Super AI "Gestalt"? 1 60 60 301 Male Researcher If we only try to control instead of understanding them, humankind will certainly be destroyed by their own hubris. 1 61 61 301 Person In Suit You... 2 62 62 301 MPA-01 —Replacement complete.

Only one man remains in the spacious laboratory; he walks toward the capsule, stroking the thick glass shell. 72 72 301 The waking girl looks at her surroundings curiously, her hand placed on the transparent cover. 73 73 301 Male Researcher She's not a tool. 1 74 74 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Male Researcher She's my child, and she's— 1 75 75 202 DialogDisable 1 1 76 76 504 0 77 77 401 300 1 36 78 78 401 1 211 79 79 101 AniZhuanchangEnd Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory304.png 80 80 201 1 500486 81 81 301 DialogEnable 1 Haicma opens her eyes. 82 82 301 Ever since she received her new body, she has been periodically "falling asleep." 83 83 301 Once a vast administrative AI, she is just a mechanoid now, wandering on Earth with no researchers maintaining her or powerful processors to help organize her thoughts. 84 84 301 Therefore, she has chosen to shut down most of her frame's functions at certain times, sleeping in a safe place and performing maintenance. 85 85 301 She would scan her old memories during so, repairing memory data that she finds important and organizing the fragmented pieces, almost as if she is "dreaming." 86 86 301 Confirming that her parts are running as intended, Haicma stands up and stretches her stiff body. 87 87 301 A long time seems to have passed since she fell asleep, and her surroundings have changed. Leaves fall from her body, and as she sweeps away the dry leaves around her, she remembers falling asleep by the latest graffiti found. 88 88 301 "Sage's" murals have also been changing. They are no longer simply colorful expressions of her feelings and depictions of the new friends she made, but also information about humans and observations on nature. 89 89 301 Haicma is basically certain that the girl she has been searching for is the person who left these murals behind. 90 90 301 She has traveled a long way following the graffiti. She has seen seasons change, sunrises and moonsets, morning dew forming then evaporating, snow covering fallen leaves, and seeds sprouting as it melts, paving a green trail. 91 91 301 Guided by the murals, Haicma feels everything in her journey. Her behavior gradually grows more spontaneous, such as insisting on stopping somewhere high on nights with a clear sky and plentiful stars. 92 92 301 She no longer searches for books Nanami might be interested in for location data only. She does it to further understand the humans Nanami is interested in, and so she would also stay at all kinds of human heritage sites. 93 93 301 Right now, Haicma is standing in an abandoned library. She was reading the books stored here before she went to sleep. 94 94 301 Haicma Is that why you're so interested in human culture? 1 95 95 301 The ideas and cultures humankind has left behind are so different, so vast, and so everchanging. 96 96 301 The diverse ways humankind could perceive the world were why their ideas created so many sparks, generating even more possibilities. 97 97 301 Those complex and glistening possibilities created a beautiful vision of the future. The storm-weathered ruins tell of the glorious age humans were in as they headed closer toward that bright future every day. 98 98 301 Haicma Row 3, column 78. Starting here. 1 99 99 301 Haicma "...The fatal flaw of machines—the flaw that saves humanity from being ruled by them—is that they cannot predict the evershifting possibility of the human world." 1 100 100 301 Haicma ... 1 101 101 301 Slowly walking along the shelves, Haicma searches for books that are legible and less damaged. 102 102 301 That is when she notices a familiar name. She steps forward, taking a book from an unassuming shelf. 103 103 301 On the title page is a name that belongs to a famous machine consciousness researcher from the Golden Age. The author's picture on the foldout is blurry beyond recognition save for a gentle smile and blonde hair. 104 104 301 Haicma knows that smile. She flips open the book. 105 105 301 —Can humanity consider machines their "children"? Despite all the theories that deem machines anti-human and destructive, we cannot deny the importance they have bestowed. 106 106 301 —Just like how our children are our legacy, the machines we built are also the extensions of us. 107 107 301 AniZhuanchangBegin —They are nonetheless approaching life from a different angle. We should think about how we can establish more meaningful relationships with them. After all, as our children, they are our pride. 108 108 202 DialogDisable 1 1 109 109 504 0.7 110 110 101 AniZhuanchangEnd Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory463.jpg 111 111 201 1 500138 112 112 301 DialogEnable 1 Male Researcher She's not a tool. 1 113 113 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Male Researcher She's my child, and she's... my pride. 1 114 114 202 DialogDisable 1 1 115 115 504 0 116 116 101 AniZhuanchangEnd Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory304.png 117 117 201 1 500486 10 118 118 301 DialogEnable 1 Haicma ... 1 119 119 301 Haicma does not know how to define the feeling she has right now. 120 120 204 1 121 121 301 She has so many questions. Even when she knows the objective definition of every emotion, she still cannot truly understand all that is to be a human. 122 122 301 But an intense curiosity surges in her mind. She desperately wants to ask her creator something, but she fails to compose the right question. 123 123 301 Most of the machines she has met on her journey are simply repeating the commands they received from humans, mimicking human behaviors. 124 124 301 Humanity first crawled in the wild before they walked and learned to run. Created by humans, machines are following humanity's footsteps, but they are sprinting—they are evolving so much faster than their creators. 125 125 301 And when disaster struck, humans began to fear their creations and abandoned them, now hiding among the stars. 126 126 301 The machines left behind began to search for their purposes. That was when they encountered a special guide. She was kind and patient, teaching them things they never knew. 127 127 301 —Because the machines have always believed that "Sagemachina" will show them the way. 128 128 301 What is the future the creators of machines are expecting? 129 129 301 Haicma holds the book close, slowly shutting her eyes. 130 130 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin She has never felt so unsure and lost.
