After Jun said that, no answers came out from him. Jun wondered if the phone disconnected but that wasn't the case. She then thought to herself, is it because of a bad connection that his voice sounds very low?
Increasing the call volume but to no avail. Soon, however, a voice comes out, a deafening one.
"YOU IDIOT!" He shouted and if this was like in a comic or in an anime. There would be wind coming out from the phone or in this case a holographic panel box, and her hair swaying wildly before stopping in a mess state.
Asitana was also surprised when her master suddenly shouted and she quickly closed her ears when it happened.
"Why did you yell at me!" She exclaimed.
Her life is safe and no great danger would come but she just got yelled at by Tornado! She somehow can't accept it, shouldn't he be thankful that her life is not in danger?
"You're a robot! How come you can't think of the reason I yelled? Listen, Jun. That white room I gave you literally can be changed into anything according to your imagination. Why the heck do you not imagine it as a robot or an unbreakable room? Instead of that, you make the room as small as possible, what's more to the microscopic size!"
"…" Jun stays silent as she doesn't know where this is going. So what if it was microscopic size? There's nothing wrong with it! She said to herself but this next sentence from Tornado made her guilty and felt sorry.
"You probably think that there's nothing wrong with microscopic size, aren't you? You moron! If that room is in microscopic size, how else is it going to get energy and return back to normal? You think the room didn't need any energy to stay active?"
"That's…"
Her tone is that of a child that just got scolded and tried to defend itself but can't find the right words since what the parents said are all true!
"Sighed, forget it. It's my fault too for leaving you alone for too long," He sighed helplessly and tried not to blame all the mistakes on her, and continued.
"When I got you back, I'll upgrade your spec and body parts. It seems your body and the game world isn't compatible anymore, which slowed down your thinking process despite you being a robot."
Jun is a strange robot. She's not like any robot that Tornado had seen in his life, well Asitana is an exception (right?). She's floating and apparently had the power to slow downtime. Put that aside for a moment.
What's more, Jun's body parts and specs must be new! You see, every time the game releases a new patch update, new robot parts will be added and the old ones will be removed. In addition to that, if there are some robot parts in the current patch that still exist, the system will recognize it as a bug.
However, it depends. If the robot parts were from players (this means that players collect them). The system will ignore it but Jun is. Well, she's a robot that is close to a human.
If she was out of the white room, she would be considered a bug but if she stays there and the game keeps updating while she's still with her old robot parts. When it comes to thinking, she's slow at it.
You can say that Jun is connected to the game, Tornado wasn't sure if that's really the case but for a few months he hung out with her and kept her safe, he became certain.
To make it easy to understand, imagine a phone and an app. Every month, new phones with new specs will be released and the app would keep updating until that app cannot be used by old phones. Same cases as her.
The reason behind it isn't certain for Tornado but he could guess a thing or two.
Heard that Tornado will upgrade her specs, her eyes glimmering with sparkles but disappeared quickly as she thinks about her situation.
"Tornado… I'm sorry." She apologized as she realized that she did something wrong and hearing a little girl's apology somehow made him feel guilty.
"It's ok Jun. Everyone makes mistakes but don't make the same mistake twice, only fools do that." He scratched his head awkwardly for the first line but with the last line, his words were firm and serious.
"Un," By her low voice, Tornado could guess that Jun nodded her head lightly. Asitana who focused on her own business can't help but be distracted by their conversation.
She didn't know who this Jun was but it seems she was someone important to him and in addition to that, Tornado is like a big brother. No, more like a father?
With her apology accepted, Jun felt relieved. She thought that Tornado would be mad at her forever! Because if that was the case, she'd rather not live in this world!
Despite him not visiting her for the last few years until three months ago, Tornado is the first person that truly cares about her. Everyone, she knew only viewed her as a tool. Once useless, they cast her away.
If someone she truly cares madly at her forever, she'd rather die than live in this world.
As Jun's mind wondered and didn't respond to Tornado's words, the latter. As if reading her mind, he said.
"Don't worry, I won't be mad at you to the point I'll leave you alone. We make a promise, didn't we? You, Clover, and me."
His words pulled Jun from her mind to reality. That's right, that promise. We made one, how come I forgot about it? Jun thought to herself as her mind remembered about the past, the moment when she, Tornado, and Clover made a promise.
"Un, thank you Tornado. Oh! Come to think of it, big sis Clover always visits me when you're awa-" Before she could complete her words, it was cut in the middle, either because the connection is gone or something bad happened.
Teet… teet…
"Hello? Jun?"
