A New Arrival...?!

“Surprise, Akemi-chan!” Saya stepped aside to reveal an android with pale blue hair sitting on a bench behind her.

The girl was looking around, bewildered by her new environment...but her eyes soon settled on Aki’s, shyly.

“Um...h-hello,” the Roid’s tenor was soft.  “My name is Kora.”

The phone-but-slowly-becoming-more-than-a-normal-phone Saya held beeped and hummed, it’s screen showing a second, digital version of Kora, who continued to reside in the app--she was currently sleeping.

“Izu and Eren helped me with her,” Saya explained, her heart drumming. “I didn’t...want Mimi to be lonely...as the only one of her kind...”

It had been her top-secret project for a while now--not even Ecannus had been told about it.

The programming and time it took to bring the digi-bot to life had been more intense than Saya imagined...but as she looked proudly at the blue-haired android, sniffing and sneezing at the park’s flowers, she felt each and every second had been worth it.

‘E-Even if I had to take up 3 side jobs...!’

Well, the equipment and lab time cost money, after all. 

She turned to Aki, taking the girl’s hand. 

“I can’t wait for her to meet Mimi,” Saya whispered. Then, her grip tightening, she added more quietly, 

“...Let’s raise them together.”

It was the epitome of spring time on this day...

Vivid blue skies, a gentle breeze, sound of birds chirping against the scent of rain that had not yet arrived.

Saya walked hand-in-hand with Akemi, her eyes trained on the beautiful pale cherry blossom trees all around them.

Such was a rare event in Japan...sakura trees didn’t survive for long, and yet were some of the most beautiful flowers one could see.

It was rare and special...so precious.

It reminded her of their friendship.

Saya’s grip tightened as she turned to look at the brunette, her heart burning with love and appreciation to have ever met her. The two had been through so much...sometimes surviving solely because of the other.

But they had done it--and their reward were moments like these.

Memories of their walk along a path of shadow-and-light cascades cast by the branches above. With perfect stillness and quiet, the beating of their hearts acting as the finishing touch to that harmony.

“Aki...” Saya said softly, again turning to look at the petals all around.

She fell quiet.

There were more words to say than she could fit into this small bit of time--more emotions involved than the woman could even begin to untangle.

For all they had done, for everything they would do...for just being -her-...

Standing beneath the sakura trees, painted in the light and dark patchwork that in many ways resembled their lives...their beings...

Only two words came to mind, wound up in such thoughts;
