“You hurt. That alone is something that makes me want to apologize.” Hap was Tae without emotional complexity and a few months of memory. Hap had only been given a master, told to care for them, then told to ignore the only emotions he was designed to feel. It’s not so easy an order nor can one...

Req would be fine. In this game, he always was. And in the real world, he always found a way to look fine. Close enough was good enough, right? The comment about the scarf was just small talk, but seeing her bury her face into the cloth was kinda cute. It highlighted how large her eyes were...

“No harm done? An inch more and he would have--” Adrian cut himself off. No arguing with Vincent. That was a rule. If Vincent wanted to pretend that this was all an accident… well, then Adrian would have to bite his tongue or wait till the angel was distracted. Perhaps that’s why when Marcus...

A robot’s brain ticked on regardless of its surroundings. Whether at a ball or the end of the world, the inhuman mind always justified and adapted to its surroundings.

"Yeah! Carry me! I'm sure your strength is high enough that you’d barely notice me!” Req was just, mostly, joking. His smirking and glances to look for a reaction reflected that clearly. “But fine… I’ll wear the boots even though they don’t match my outfit. Bards are supposed to be in the city...

“My father has always been strict about swordplay, though I thank you all the same. After your graduation, if--” when “--we meet again, we should test your theory! So I hope you won’t slack off after graduation!” The fall festival! What a perfect time! Although it was an event mainly for the...

“Sadly so! I didn’t even intend to win the fight that way, but sadly, instincts sometimes take over when in a rush to finish a fight.” Adrian raised his cup of water as if to signify that his thirst was why he rushed. It wasn’t in the slightest. Raising his cup was almost more of an attempt to...

Hap was good at following orders. He understood that many of his internal and external features were damaged somehow. Master Dorian had merely fixed him enough to chase away most glitches and third-party hacking software. A fresh memory card and a dozen physical enhancements made Hap arguably an...

Vincent was late. A frustratingly common issue Adrian had with the mostly otherwise perfect boy. What could it be today? Helping out a teacher? Getting taken advantage of by his friends? An assassination attempt? All meaningless excuses, of course, but nothing that couldn’t be worked on and...

The silence of Kirron Castle was deafening and echoed in the mind of Prince Adrian Linmarcer even as he slept hundreds of miles away. How did the cold walls of home sound so much louder than the King’s Academy? This place was filled to the brim with lords and princes spending their days...
