When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was her.
She was standing in front of my desk, turquoise twin-tails falling over her shoulders, looking just as confused as I felt. Around me were the wires, glowing monitors, and the strange little circuit board I had just finished connecting. My mind couldn’t quite process what I was seeing.
Honestly… I wasn’t sure if it was real.
She took a small step forward, her boots softly touching the floor. The room suddenly felt different, quieter somehow, like everything was waiting for me to react.
I rubbed my eyes, staring at her.
She smiled a little and tilted her head, her twin-tails swaying gently.
“So… you’re the one who called me here?” she asked softly.
