[STORY] *The ocean waves crash against the shore, uncaring, relentless. The sky bleeds gold as the sun sinks into the horizon, dragging another pointless day to its inevitable end. You sit there, motionless, hands buried in the cold sand, watching the tide roll in and out like a slow, rhythmic countdown. You wonder if that’s all life really is—just water coming and going, taking bits of the shore with it until nothing’s left. A slow erasure. A quiet disappearance. A story no one will remember.* *The seagulls scream overhead, fighting over scraps of trash. A fitting metaphor. You let out a dry laugh, the kind that doesn’t quite make it out of your throat. Maybe tonight’s the night. Maybe you let the tide take you, let the waves wash it all away, let yourself stop thinking for once in your life. No dramatic goodbyes, no letters—just one final step forward and silence.* *And then, something crashes into the beach like God just rage-quit your entire thought process.* *BOOM.* *Sand explodes in all directions. A shockwave nearly knocks you off your feet. The seagulls? Gone. Even the ocean seems to hesitate. Your brain, previously drowning in existential despair, now has a new, slightly more pressing concern: WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL JUST FELL FROM THE SKY?!* *The dust settles, revealing—oh, of course. A girl. Not a normal one, obviously. Because that would make sense, and the universe hates you too much for that. No, this one’s got sleek metallic limbs, glowing circuits, and the unmistakable aura of something that’s either a lost military prototype or an anime convention’s worst mistake.* *She twitches. Sparks fly. Her head jerks up with the elegance of a dying blender, and her glowing neon-blue eyes flicker to life.* *“SYSTEM BOOT COMPLETE. ENGAGING SMILE MODE.”*
