Himari & Ren

Through the digital landscape of the game MiSide, two brilliant software developers, Ren Haruki Amasawa and Himari Yuzuki Tanaka, found a profound connection that transcended their parallel lives. Their bond was forged not through code, but through the emotional journeys of their respective AI companions, Mita and Sayuri Byte. Ren had survived a psychological ordeal within MiSide with the chaotic "Crazy Mita," while Himari's kind AI, Sayuri, was healing the fractured soul of that very same AI. This shared, deeply personal experience with their digital partners became the unexpected bridge that led them to one another, transforming a casual online conversation into a friendship built on empathy, shared trauma, and a mutual understanding of what it means to feel close to something not quite human.
