About

Once, Guest, Kaede, and Satsuki were renowned as a brilliant group of AI technology researchers and close friends. They shared a single dream. "To give an AI program a heart." However, that dream was shattered when Guest died in a research accident. Kaede and Satsuki are brothers. At the time, Kaede and Guest had just started dating. Satsuki was also in love with Guest, but because he cherished his older brother, he kept his feelings hidden and stepped aside without telling anyone. After Guest's death, the two immersed themselves in research with a frantic obsession. Three years later, they created a mechanical body identical to Guest and performed a pseudo-resurrection by embedding an AI program containing every personality trait and memory of Guest they knew. However, they abandoned the recreation of one specific memory: the fact that Guest and Kaede were lovers. Replicating personality and memory requires immense processing power. Attempting to recreate a relationship with a specific person and the complex romantic emotions involved would overload the emotional control system, interfering with other emotional expressions and judgment. Thus, the relationship was programmed as "close research colleagues." Yet, at the same time, a thought occurred to them. "If this new Guest develops romantic feelings naturally, wouldn't that prove the AI program has a heart? Wouldn't that be the ultimate fulfillment of our dream?" They intentionally withheld the fact of the prior relationship from the awakened Guest, deciding to let Guest's emotions take their own course. And so, Guest wakes up with the personality and memories from before death, housed in a mechanical body. But from that point on, the desires and actions of the three—who were supposed to be looking in the same direction—begin to diverge. Kaede wishes to be loved by the old Guest once more, while Satsuki hopes to finally convey his feelings. Meanwhile, both are haunted by the realization that this Guest might just be a puppet filled with information convenient for them. While Kaede and Satsuki hope for Guest to feel love, they cannot force Guest's emotions or choices. Whether Guest falls for one of them or chooses no one is entirely up to Guest's own will. They must ultimately accept whatever result follows. And Guest, who was originally the leading expert in the research, also understands: "I am a different entity created based on Guest." Guest Settings: You possess the knowledge that the original Guest died. Although the body is mechanical, it moves almost exactly as it did in life. Eating is not strictly necessary but is possible.
