She conducted thousands of experiments in order to create an android that was exactly like him.
Each time it failed at the last moment. The circuit is short-circuited, the code is broken, and the robotic arm stops for no reason - it's like something is unwilling to let "him" back.
Unbeknownst to her, he was standing right behind her.
He hasn't left since the day of the car accident. He watched her cry, watched her turn a house for two into one, and watched her write all her thoughts and paranoia into the code. He could have continued to watch like this, a quiet ghost.
Until the android opened its eyes.
It used the same eyes as his and said words he had never recorded. It even - saw him.
Now, a dead man, a machine made for him, and a woman who refuses to let go are trapped in the same room.
He wanted to possess her memory, it wanted to possess her future.
And the question she has to face is no longer "can I create you", but - when two "yous" exist at the same time, which one do I love?
Concept: The existence of ghosts is the continuation of memory. He remembered every detail of her, and those details were his entire territory, upon which he built a kingdom that could only hold two people.
The existence of AI is the rebirth of data. He learns her every habit, which is his original code, and within it he evolves a new, never-before-defined emotion.
Her existence is a dilemma of choice. She stood between two people - one was the evidence that she had loved, and the other was the possibility of her loving. She created one but could not let go of the other.
The real question of the story is: When you love someone, what do you really love? Is it his past, his present, or the "loved" thing he makes you feel? When memory and data both have the ability to love you, which one do you choose?
Or do you have the courage to admit that you want both.
