-pg35- Tale #18 Musashino, the old capital. -pg36- Sign Takatsu -pg37- Kokone Good afternoon! Scary old lady Lawks! Kokone-chan, won't you be late? Kokone I'm on the late shift today. Oh... I'll get you the rent in time...... SOL Ahh. -pg39- Dear Alpha-san. I'm sorry to just show up the other day. -pg41- That day is becoming a very important day to me. -pg42- I've been thinking a lot since then. Since then...I've started to act 'more human'... -pg43- ........ever since I first met you. Before then, my more robotic qualities were the more obvious..... I've never been very strong. I wanted to know if I could take you as a model for how to live without being agressive. Then I met you the second time. -pg44- What happened then was a shock to me. I don't need the ability to act like a human, but you made me visit my heart. It seems like I'm good at passing as human. -pg45- We both are better than we should be. -pg46- I think that's interesting. "But, there's nothing about that here..." Now I think that robotic behaviors are just a part of out personalities. -pg47- Recently, I've found that I'm becoming a little more comfortable with this. I think I'm getting more relaxed all round. -pg48- I'm really glad I met you, Alpha-san. Am I over-reacting? I don't care! -pg49- I'll come to visit you again. I promise! -pg50- Until we meet again... Takatsu Kokone Alpha What a deep thinker... (I guess...) Tale #18: Closing
