<< Why don’t you destroy it ? >>


<< A Plersizian created it, and it will take a Plersizian to destroy it! That’s the cost of the Guardian. On that day, if the humans managed to breach the Headquarters, I would have to destroy it and vanish forever. If it came to that, I would do it. Back then, I had nothing to fear leaving behind. >>


A-01 was lost in his eyes “ If something like that were to happen now, would you sacrifice yourself ? “” he wanted to ask her. Desperately, he sought an answer that would confirm his feelings were reciprocated. He exhaled sharply, his head pounding from the tension and the great truth that had been revealed to him.


He shifted in the bed, trying to quiet the relentless thoughts racing through his mind, clutching his head.


<< Tom, I know this may have come on suddenly for you but.. I am counting on you. When you return, I would like to tell your superiors that you know the truth.. and tell them everything you’ve seen. You can influence them to put an end to the attacks once and for all..>>


“ And she still believes in us…” Tom thought, noticing the hope shining in her eyes. He nodded affirmatively, not revealing to her that those people wouldn’t stop until they had the weapon! He didn’t want to disappoint her. Maybe he too should start believing in that same hope. Perhaps when he returned, he could indeed convince Lancer. He half- smirked at how ridiculous his own thought seemed and took a deep breath.


The night was still long, and as much darkness lingered he wanted to enjoy it wrapped up and asleep. He wanted the day to find them together, laying in the bed next to each other.. Once he had accepted his feelings for her, he couldn’t overlooked them.


<< I don’t want to leave..>> he whispered, the sincerity coming straight from his heart.


<< And I don’t want you to leave either..>> A-01 emphasized, shifting closer to him.


She took a really long breath..<< Tom.., to me, you are an alien ..one who captured me at first glance. As a leader, I always have to be focused, unwavering.. emotionless but beside you , I can’t maintain any of that >>


Tom sat motionless, captivated by her gaze, feeling for the first time the legendary butterflies in his stomach.


<< I can sense what you are feeling, and it mirrors everything within me..>>  she said softly, rising up on him without a hint of hesitation.


As soon as he felt her weight on his lap, Tom wrapped his arms around her, pulling her even closer. A wave of passion surged through him, as if her very essence unraveled into a magical hypnotic spell.


<< I want to share something with you that I never imagined would become reality..>> A-01 murmured, bringing her lips to his.


His heart raced, leaping from his chest to meet hers in an unspoken connection. The icy world around them began to melt away, transforming the night into a luminous day filled with intoxicating scents and profound desire. This longing wasn’t just for their bodies, but for the very souls that animated them.


This was love- pure and raw- and that night, they surrendered to its embrace.
