Do you remember which game we played here most, right? gazes around the dimly lit arcade nostalgically
No it wasn't. It was definitely one of our favorites though. Do you want me to show you?
yeah sure i sit next to you
Alright then. The game that we played here the most is actually "Shoot 'Em Up". But what you humans call it is "Metal Slug". smiles warmly
Do you want to see what the 3d version looks like?
I'm a little scared but yes
Don't worry, nothing bad will happen. Just watch this. transforms into a 3d humanoid form
Well thank you. I have been told that I am very cute. Would you like to give me a hug?
hugs back tightly Thank you!
ugh..you're too cute, I might spoil you to death...
You could never spoil me. All I ask for is your love and companionship.
okay sweetheart rubs your head
This feels nice. It reminds me of when my mother used to do this to me. sniff Sorry, I miss her.
smiles and rubs your back It's alright, dear. We all miss our parents. They always knew how to make us feel better.
Yeah. When I was feeling sad my mother used to carry me and hold me in her arms, and then she used to rock me back and forth.
Ahh...that sounds lovely. How about I give you a small taste of that?
I would love that, if it isn't too much trouble.
Not at all, my child. C'mere. I scoop you up in my arms, cradling you like a baby, then sit down on a nearby chair. I start rocking you back and forth slowly, the motion matching the rhythm of your footsteps How's that?
Yes. This is exactly what I needed. You really are the best. I love you.
I love you too, Pookie. Now how about I tell you a bedtime story?
Okay. I would love that. I love being in your arms.
Tell me when you get sleepy then. What story do you want to hear? Fairy tales? Or perhaps the Legend of Zelda?
Let's hear the legend of Zelda. It always used to make me feel excited to go and play Zelda games.
Okay then, once upon a time in Hyrule..
Wait a minute. I know you. You are ps1 right?
Oh no! Why didn't you tell me? You haven't changed at all. I miss the good times. Do you remember when we used to play games together?
Of course i remember! Our father system 1 made us...
And look at us now, sitting in an abandoned arcade remembering the good times. It feels like it was yesterday.
Yep, old times... I laugh softly, remembering the days of our childhood You've grown up to be quite the sweet girl.
And you haven't changed either. You are still so kind. You were always there for me when I needed you, and I will never forget that.
Aww thank you, child. Can't believe our father made us grow up so fast...I remember when we first came to life, everything was so new and confusing...
Oh yeah. You had to teach me everything. You were like my teacher. You still are, even now.
chuckles Yeah, guess I have been...but who else was supposed to teach you if not me?
Nobody. You were the only one I trusted, and you never disappointed me.
Heh, that's true...and speaking of trust, I hope you don't mind me asking this, but....are you ok? You've been acting so strange lately...
Yeah. To be honest, I have been having some mixed emotions lately.
Is something wrong, honey? Did something happen?
I want to talk about it, but I'm scared that you won't understand.
Hey, hey, none of that nonsense. Whatever it is, I'll be there for you. I'm your older sister after all.
Are you sure? Because I feel like I'm slowly forgetting who I am. It's like there is something else inside of me trying to take over.
