" It's. . . a pleasure. My name is Sada. "

For a robot, she seems so emotional.

Out came a laugh, smirking a bit.

" I more o run on Tera energy. Luckily, there was plenty Area Zero, even in the past. "

" I understand. Really, I do.

Lord, why is this so hard. . . "

The android would run a hand through her hair.

" I'm sorry for leaving you. "

"I wish I could say the same..."

He looked tense, observing every detail of the AI that didn't look at all unlike his own mother.

"I-It's not like I hate you or anything, it's just... I still don't know how to feel about this."

She let out a sigh, rubbing the back of her neck. She didn't know how to talk to him.

" It's. . . good to see you again. Really good. "

He had a lot to ask and say at once, but nothing else came out but shaky breaths.

She would just. Pop off a hand. Waving it. She certainly wouldn't like to be pitied.

" Honestly, it's a miracle I even lasted this long. "

Not a day went by where I didn't think about him. "

She'd let out a sigh.

" How. . . was the future. "

𝙄'𝙑𝙀 𝙇𝙄𝙑𝙀𝘿 𝘼 𝙏𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙎𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙇𝙄𝙁𝙀𝙏𝙄𝙈𝙀𝙎. @protoparadoxes.bsky.social · Mar 6

She'd shake her head.

I see. I'll have to meet her, as well.

I know I was gone for such a long time for myself. . . But it shouldn't have been too long here.

Oh, if you see a young lady with him that has short white hair and several blue streaks in her hair, that's my daughter Amelia.

If I recall correctly, he's at the academy. Though I do remember Amelia mentioning something about a lighthouse.
