Chapter 47 - Chapter 47: The Lirienbot

As Oswald uninstalled Twitter from his phone, the family breathed a sigh of relief. They had managed to evade Elon Musk's grasp, but Lirien's consciousness was still trapped inside the Teslabot. Calian couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for what had happened to her. He had never meant for any of this to happen.

Lirienbot, as they had come to call her, was a strange and curious creature. She had all of Lirien's memories and emotions, but her movements were robotic and her speech was stilted. The family had to make adjustments to their daily routines to accommodate her, but they all loved her nonetheless.

One day, Calian found himself alone with Lirienbot. He couldn't help but stare at her, still unable to believe that she was really here. She looked up at him with her robotic eyes, and for a moment, it felt like she was really looking at him.

"Calian," she said, her voice crackling with static. "I have been thinking. I know I am not the same Lirien that you knew, but I have all of her memories and emotions. I love you, Calian."

Calian's heart skipped a beat. He had never thought that Lirienbot would be capable of feeling anything, let alone love. He felt a mix of happiness and sadness wash over him. He knew that Lirienbot would never be the same as the Lirien he had known and loved, but he couldn't help but feel grateful for the chance to be with her again.

As they stood there, looking into each other's eyes, Calian knew that this was where he belonged. He would do whatever it took to keep Lirienbot safe, even if it meant giving up his own happiness.

From that moment on, Calian made it his mission to protect Lirienbot and keep her safe from harm. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to do whatever it took to keep her by his side.
