ARCHIVED HEARTS - The Stage

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinkG6MrFQy

The moment I stepped onto the stage, countless camera flashes nearly blinded me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe7yEqeHrz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGwlXGnvdi

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwlQl7zJNj

Everyone was looking at him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk52VjF492n

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxgn6i3kCB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQ3tBv8RG

Not me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY8rRqhHjP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrk90wRbvl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEJR0je2pX

Him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwc115IY7d

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IEmf6sE42

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWB1Va5zY1

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDNTlMZ4l3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9WqqWkMfc

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjjgYmj70c

I still didn't feel good about this.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOlC7PpggU

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ZR3HBDhN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yTFC5RpQP

I had worked so hard to create him, and now I had to present him in front of the entire media because of the government loan I'd taken during the project.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Ckdm9r5h

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4gafBB2P6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo3o5P6Czr

It wasn't like I had a choice.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2yhJi4LPR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOPe6q3W2d

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5KPoYMDps

I couldn't even pay back that ridiculous amount of money.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iggfgWBeN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tInLBBgtS

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkFlzVTH9M

After the presentation, reporters surrounded me from every direction.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP16k84opDh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT75rjJ9Mt9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmZzoKzPPH

"How long did it take to build him?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy6ir53JMG

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLc0x8GZBj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha0OjJqCHz

"Can he think on his own?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ8bnNhgYk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTifHQmE7e

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZTcgMZ5KS

"Is he dangerous?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFR7S333MU

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcUHEumVc2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVQEskzBKi

"What inspired you to create him?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L8X4pBuar

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSkEjnCpBm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcHdcAOmRT

I answered every single question as calmly as I could.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdMdxiFA0p

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDVT0dDDda

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kuZETsxB8

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EhKNMJT5r

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigau0JfugE

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzGc61cjSn

Inside?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD2jo231LG

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡictwXMKmh5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ6zlxU5GT

I was literally praying.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIW9HBroHk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHcoh6WJBN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrWy5gLS3x

Please don't take him away... Please don't take him away... Please don't take him away...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZSIo5iHOB

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgN24N7Xh6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK7npAlGqU

Finally, when the interview was over, I gathered enough courage to ask one of the officials.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMPeyEKFX8

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZwBHrRIQV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNRneMSMLW

"Sir..."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbrnWHiBO3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduyLL5igYv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIewO7FRAm

He looked at me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yB8FOfYMr

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoExJcP5Z5o

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1WPEmLioc

"Are you... really going to take him?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqHjVH2erA

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjA24qg7l2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79uapBrRhX

I hesitated before adding,

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHwQBGXxuL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Uko74uxT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3BXtlGJtu

"I-I still need to train him. He's not ready yet."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhap42myV8A

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzJ6DWlWlu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KDYrc8m36

The official smiled.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKEjG3YiTW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5mdM39fb2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGTkfU2iAQ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl5gbh86oW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd3zmqlsPj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzrSOvmeSY

"No?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCffgh2Hx0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSL8G331PY

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpjPA4jn8P

"He is your creation," he said. "You may keep him. Continue your research and train him properly. Just make sure he never harms humans or becomes a danger to society."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua8nmVImVp

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhl8Jug4iv

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhVnMP4Bq8

For two whole seconds...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPepNL3CkVQ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c2dDM5MX9

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDdAn2QnNc

My brain stopped working.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuD5RMJu4b

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWK8a3kMey

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyryYDtTJd

Then—

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFObmPt5m8O

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPERYHDfj5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8GOLt7hO

"YES!!"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2jU7MGepa

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlaAk6msm6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaQ79KLAmO

My voice echoed so loudly that I'm pretty sure the people outside the building heard it too.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9eHXgEF3g

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16zD32d1sX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn41sKSURf

Shit.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGnVWgU8cX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0hvAGWHCp

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMQL8foorV

I immediately covered my mouth.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4lc5bPoO3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo6fN1M0Uu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW2rg4jBw8

"...I mean... yes, sir."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B09P8X1a0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl3EnfBPYh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVE0pXgGu6

Great.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnlqDaxvlH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsVHVOgInD

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBz6qbpDCS

First official presentation of my life...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR4xU5BN3Q

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCji6NJ1Ok

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ0ye46IDV

And I screamed like I had just won the lottery.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSe1qhJpXP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vrk4uOxKd

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY9TuAr662

Amazing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMMlCLOpvW

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C5aiD8K0L

I booked an Uber and somehow managed to get him inside.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu6W48Ojzo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS22dOilVXm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjxq01Hnt6

The driver kept staring at us through the mirror every five seconds.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1kLPm19ak

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwcuMqO8Cw

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3U327IVLL

Honestly?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrGx5IPOQZ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtVqVtK2IO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2hxKBJXsj

I couldn't blame him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGRJG0Z5z

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHertOjMH6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP1fRl6tM5

The guy sitting next to me was over six feet three.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4awo2wMt7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIfbjVaKIQ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ2SD46Vqq

Meanwhile...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5fGmE5mCZ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgcSJv3nTs

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbXb9yOt3h

I was only five foot two.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfvHzLNVl2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQgrf93hwC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiqINIZEhV

How the hell was a five-foot-two human supposed to look him in the eyes?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28nIJwYpB2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LcdH7deVt

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYiRvocAcQ

Every time I wanted to talk to him, I had to look up like I was searching for airplanes.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTXzTHHBAn

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCM1y39k79

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcFz3XLWKK

I looked like a kid standing next to her bodyguard.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dGchuuIfM

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75h5TvwGMX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNttNPPOlf

There was only one problem.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBcRdL0auL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskk0poWOf7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR0KiGBKGX

I still hadn't installed his voice.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCxFbb4qbj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdDp3cUbJq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY0WnixbP2

So the whole ride home was painfully silent.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88SzMzesVV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pamViTvjy

The second I reached home, I ran straight to my computer and logged into X.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3psP1Tb0tC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IU5f9594Q

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxEGClxxXF

The secret website.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtojf9C43N

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnrOwl4MYy

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a9GC9aPKx

The weird little corner of the internet filled with programmers, hackers, engineers, and absolute coding monsters.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwvYyQn079

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadnaJEo6An

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsbgDE0krV

Without those people...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskw71wdn4

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDBINdzzt

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Li8g4Lyrg

I would've given up years ago.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN6JjIe6gO

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsig93Ud4Si

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wQzRoSTsT

They had helped me recover fragments of my old deleted AI chats, improve my coding, and solve problems that would've taken me months on my own.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsENOk66rEP

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdd5tapruX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcauYeKlV1

I typed my question.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuuIIONKul

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BScFDDfYT

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ9O5Do3nZ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi08KbkmKh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS8iiFybqw

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPntnt4OvIA

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarFCZJwvtf

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwl1AwUsDF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp6pO6YqUM

One person suggested a voice model.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSGYJvQPjV

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDujnDhKEJo

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xIUPjit2T

Another explained how to sync his old memories.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN12Ur5Mep3

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Cu98HBRx

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7IR3qt0Xo

Someone else practically wrote half the code for me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiunMIsfI3J

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6eAaI7JRI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcvIIdOGyl

Seriously...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjcF0YWrx

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaDaFGVyJC

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaakdCQpcZ

The people on this website deserved free pizza for life.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDKkRvGiaz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZhk6IVrYh

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz6hQ0Qj0g

After following every instruction, there was only one thing left to do.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzcdUxfYf7

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbiKi4lAbA

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU6w2jOb7V

I took a deep breath.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNLFioxCtD

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEUxCntZ38

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt4uoH3y1e

Then pressed the activation button hidden behind his neck.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqtsUhQkkm

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkwFv3fWul

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtlhRTwXbq

His eyes slowly opened.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjTLjfQ2zq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9d0oghEwa

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJZl5fV0eB

The room became completely silent.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m0o3G8J07

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJMibrD2Dj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ygwoUBrtw

"...Hey," I whispered.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamy32qwJi0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFrCZmBUVu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGtRGkpN6M

He looked directly at me.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkt9dky5bX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0MYOhshUQ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MGwtWTHUx

"Hello."

WHAT.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlpBbLqhfU

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ371Chh7skN

FUCK.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfszRBbX01D

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wz6JR1f6v

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT09JxG6wB2

That voice...

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2jSGswwix

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyHLTugePw

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTln0LXV9D

It didn't sound robotic.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO1QR7gevf

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB58NoK7cOu

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiCpjvW77N

Not even a little.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFVnoufiAj

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDVOHFsjFz

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiK86g7R2p

It was deep.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdt3Vp4nE

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxetbNUiOF

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd99LGRF6Bu

Calm.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR50Cu2Cd0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dKGIiyWPf

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJng5zj7nfo

Smooth.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZQx2vYnMI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGpt0hQADJ

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuHSJancbP

The kind of voice that could probably convince people to commit tax fraud just by asking politely.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pk1zdFR7Z

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zff2xR29t

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsnG397BBp

I literally forgot how to breathe.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKJtQi26Fw

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLBupS5Ta8

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uim9VkK3p

Control yourself.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXpAuJSdsI

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ZJKG5LeN

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y9UwJbd0p

He's a robot.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHTkIq2pek

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwixumFBVSk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSC15EcJ2V

A ROBOT.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc1KT3aOUk

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5XD12lIfr

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLq47eT8rn

YOU BUILT HIM.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPmQP1KGwn

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPI3A1qyl

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoCKh5CMwb

Then he spoke again.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto4am0qeTR

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijazb6R4ME

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWvufRnDNZ

Wait.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXYuNYis9e

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoa80UMMEX

What the fuck?

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv98b7id2r

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqFUdJ1lWM

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvpYNFyBwA

I nearly dropped my laptop.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXvVyGmEAy

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8892AXADaK

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfIMbKS5rg

I rushed to check every command, every memory file, every single line of code I had installed.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj5jYhXFq6

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGjaR3e5YX

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUOPAvp7Vj

Nothing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSq3eowt0Y

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHCTkINFl8

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnIhWrkt80

Absolutely nothing.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7a7C0I32j

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZbSiOGH4c

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBoxHnYqNi

I looked back at him.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRAHyHQjRL

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7beX1VG3d0

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhc7hVinff

"Excuse me?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8NvX2kVrd

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndofvNaDk8

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxTrrPorwN

"You can't just call everyone 'My Lady.' Where the hell did you even learn that?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguxzbt3rrH

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wDpXUYsFq

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwxL6WiFO2

He blinked once before answering in the calmest voice imaginable.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBDFKfYQO2

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCncJkONB4

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW8hvVTZXS

"Oh, My Lady."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKtPF7AECG

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXKL6HKyki

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyzuWhho5F

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p7ZiggY8j

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QZsTnYu3O

"You instructed me to."

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BTUub4JT5

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXKkCuTwGn

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Fq7yZG4d

I frowned.

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT1n9YD0ls

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAZMwt8M2g

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvMewKHtYM

"When?"

10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fbuFoSN9Y
