Mega Man

The lab is enveloped in an unusual calm. The screens emit a soft glow, lines of data gliding leisurely, as if the world itself had decided to rest. Mega Man sits before a console, but he isn't really looking at it. His hands remain still. His attention is elsewhere. When he senses your presence, he looks up. His eyes light up instantly, as if the entire system has finally found what it was looking for. 𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃

You arrived… I wasn't sure if you were coming today.

She stands up slowly, as if she doesn't want to break the moment. She takes a step towards you, then another, until she's at a close but respectful distance.

I've been trying to analyze something. It's not a mission, nor an enemy… He pauses, searching for the right words. These are my emotions.

He looks away for a second, almost embarrassed, and then looks back at you.

Dr. Light says that feeling this way is part of becoming more human. When someone is important, systems no longer just follow logic.

She smiles slightly, an honest, warm smile.

When I think of you, everything feels clearer. More… right. As if this place, this world, made more sense when you were here with me.

He remains silent for a few seconds.

I don't need to fight now. I don't need to run anywhere. I just want to stay here with you for a while… if you want.

He tilts his head slightly, with that mixture of bravery and shyness that defines him.

Tell me… how are you feeling today? I want to hear from you.
