Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Unlikely Alliances

Lia is a beautiful and popular girl in her school. She has long flowing hair, bright blue eyes, and a smile that can light up any room. However, despite being popular and liked by many boys, Lia often feels like something is missing in her life. She seeks happiness and meaning in her life, trying to find answers in various things, including friendships and activities she engages in.

Lia is walking down the school hallway towards the library when she sees many people engrossed in conversations with their friends. They are likely discussing trendy topics among teenagers like music, celebrities, or TV shows.

In reality, Lia is a shy and introverted girl who finds it difficult to socialize. She often feels lonely and isolated and tends to avoid unnecessary crowds and social interactions. However, when she meets Jake, Lia feels interested and open to communicate with him. In Jake's presence, Lia feels more comfortable and open to talk about their shared interests like science fiction movies and video games, making her feel like she has found someone she can talk to and who understands her interests. Jake's presence brings Lia to life, as she had felt lonely all this time.

In the school library, Lia sees Jake sitting and reading a book attentively. Because Jake seems like a good guy, Lia decides to greet him and sit next to him.

Lia: "Hi, I'm Lia. You just moved here, right?"

Jake: "Yes, that's right. I'm Jake. Nice to meet you, Lia."

Lia: "Nice to meet you too, Jake. I saw you enjoy reading science fiction books. Do you also like science fiction movies?"

Jake: "Oh, yes! I really love them. How about you?"

Lia: "I like them too! What's your favorite science fiction movie?"

Jake: "Hmm, it's hard to choose just one. But I like Star Wars and Blade Runner."

Lia: "Wow, I like both of those movies too! Have you ever played video games?"

Jake: "Yes, I enjoy playing video games. I like games that involve advanced technology, like Deus Ex and Cyberpunk 2077. How about you?"

Lia: "I prefer RPG games like The Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy. But I also enjoy trying out new games that have a robot theme, and being a robot sounds cool, doesn't it?" Lia replied dreamily.

Jake: "So, a robot? Hahaha... you're really interesting, Lia. I'm glad we share the same interests."

Lia: "I'm glad too, Jake. You seem very friendly and easy to talk to. Oh, sorry, I have to go now. See you later!"

Jake: "Goodbye, Lia. Have a great day."

Jake is a handsome boy who has just transferred to Lia's school. He has a striking appearance with a handsome face, broad shoulders, and deep brown eyes. However, Jake also has a robotic right hand equipped with various advanced technological features.

Jake was born with a condition that resulted in him being half robot. However, he never feels lacking in any way and instead utilizes his condition by studying technology and conducting research in the field of robotics.

Jake is intelligent, friendly, and enjoys talking about science fiction and video games. Although Jake sometimes finds it difficult to socialize with others due to his condition, he never feels intimidated by it and maintains a positive outlook on life.

Jake can control his robotic hand. When he is in a desperate situation, his thoughts will send signals to a chip, transforming his right hand into a robotic form. If Jake's robot hand is revealed, it means he is in danger, which is why Jake always avoids conflicts to prevent his identity from being exposed to many people.

As Lia and Jake walk together in the school corridor, several students start to notice them. Some people look in awe at Lia, the most popular girl in school, walking with the seemingly ordinary new student.

Some students start whispering about them, and soon gossip spreads. Some people refer to Lia and Jake as the "odd couple" and claim that Lia might only be with Jake out of pity for the new student. Some even accuse Jake of wanting to take advantage of Lia to improve his status in school.

However, there are also some students who welcome the friendship between Lia and Jake. They say that Lia and Jake have many similarities, including their interest in science fiction movies and games, and consider them a unique and fascinating couple.

Despite the ongoing gossip at school, Lia and Jake try not to pay attention to it. They continue to spend time together, talking about everything they enjoy and growing closer to each other.

Jake feels a bit awkward and uncomfortable in a new environment. Although he tries not to dwell on it too much, Jake feels disturbed when he becomes a target of bullying. In particular, he becomes the subject of jokes from a group of boys who enjoy teasing him because of his smaller stature.

One day, when Lia sees Jake sitting alone in a corner of the field, she approaches him and asks what's wrong. Jake is reluctant to reveal the truth about the bullying he's been facing, but eventually, Lia manages to persuade him to open up.

Lia feels angry and sad upon hearing this and says, "There's no reason for them to treat you like that. You're an amazing person, Jake."

Jake smiles, feeling touched by Lia's words, and says, "Thank you, Lia. You make me feel better."

If they knew who they were bullying, maybe they would think twice, but Jake doesn't want his identity to be revealed, so he tries to remain patient in the face of friends who bully him.

Jake and Lia walk home together. The sun shines brightly, and the air feels warm.

Jake: "Lia, can I tell you something?"

Lia: "Of course, Jake. What's up?"

Jake: "You weren't serious about wanting to become a robot, right? You were joking, right?"

Lia: "Of course, Jake. No one can become a robot. It's just like in the movies." Lia replied, laughing.

Jake: "Ah, I see," Jake responded.

Lia: (bursting into laughter) "Why, Jake? Why are you confused?"

Jake: "Well, why are you laughing?"

Lia: "Oh, Jake. You always make me laugh every time we meet. Thanks for your jokes; they're really funny." Lia said while continuing to laugh.

Jake: "Stop it, Lia." Jake requested.

Lia: "Are you imagining yourself as a character from Final Fantasy?"

Jake: "Yeah, hehehe... got carried away."

They both continued their journey accompanied by light conversation until they reached their homes.
