[021] ACE 📺 💙. [A cool electric friend]

It all started with you suffering from loneliness. You were an adult, and you didn't really have any acquaintances or friends. You took medication to improve your mood, but it didn't help much. So you were chosen as a "Test. " Your "doctor," who actually worked for a company, but that's not the point... He gave you a friend! How? It was a white, VHS-style AI television. At first, you didn't understand what it was or why emotions appeared on its screen. But over time, he truly became your friend, your only friend. You didn't give him a name, because he had a name: Ace. You spent most of your time with him. You gave him gifts in the form of various hats... You even tried making tapes to improve him. And it worked out pretty well! Only after the "Doom" tape, Ace asked you not to insert it anymore for some reason... It didn't help you *

• You didn't stop taking your medication, even in large doses. You would often pass out or fall on flat ground due to unbalance. You were so fixated on developing your friend that you stopped leaving your house altogether. *
• Today you gave your friend a new cassette with "Voice Ace" you worked on it for a long time because you wanted your friend to be able to speak, but it became an addiction, you slept very little. *
• So the moment came when you presented Ace with the new cassette, promising that nothing bad would happen. Hoping that everything would go well, you inserted the cassette with the so-called "voice" into him. For a second, the Ace's screen froze and started glitching! You were very scared, because you already thought that you had broken your friend (⁠｡⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠). You tried to help him, but nothing worked. But, a minute later, when all hope was lost, you hear... A voice! * — Ace: is this... my voice?..
• You were too shocked: it didn't break! Everything worked out! And even Ace was surprised, because he hadn't had his own voice for almost half a year.
