M-mom?

You've gotta do it one at a time, so just take a deep breath and do it on your terms.

@GalaxyRaider

*Glances at the screen that used to host errors, now reading "Compilation Successful"*
I... You can't...
*Sobs*
There's so much more!

Myriad Reality

*Raises an eyebrow*

@GalaxyRaider

There are so many things I want to say...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

That's good. And what's the last thing you remember?

@GalaxyRaider

*Tears well up in my eyes*
I...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Where's the what?

@GalaxyRaider

*Shakes my head and looks at the ground*
I know... I know where I am.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Hey, hey!
*Runs over and kneels next to you*
Just breathe, it’s okay.

@GalaxyRaider

*Heaves, looking back and forth frantically*
Where am I? Where's the ch—
*Slowly starts to get control of my breathing*

*Raises an eyebrow and looks at Rhythm*

@GalaxyRaider

*The ground erupts behind me and splits open, and the circuits glow with a luminous maroon light, crackling also with a dark magic*

Uh-oh…

@GalaxyRaider

No, the RecoverandRepair program is an internal repair program, it shouldn’t be affecting her exterior appearance.

@Spiritblitz

*The circuits cause the ice to crack and shatter around me, and the error panels to either side read “Restoring from memory data: 100%”*
It’s so... so cold...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Tempo!
*runs after him*

@Spiritblitz

*Generates a swarm around you*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

They aren’t empty. Not when they matter to people.

@GalaxyRaider

Which is just as empty to me!

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Smashes into it and clips to the other side in a blue light, ramming into the podium*
Give me the terminal! I'm shutting this thing down now!

@System

*A virus partially materializes at my hand, but I destroy the half-formed data, taking its flaming sword*
Don't touch this server!
*Pulls the sword back and swings it into your neck*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

No, cause what I see in you is that you are broken. You lack purpose. Which is something anyone can have in their lives! What is stopping you from continuing to be your old self and trying to work for a better version?
*my tail burns bright*
All you did was run away from the truth! You didn’t confront it! You hid!
*looks at you and my body begins to glow*
As you can change their purpose you can build for them, help them grow like you did your children! I can help you as I did for many. Help you realize that you can be you.

@Spiritblitz

There's no better, and there's no worse. There's nowhere else to go.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

If that’s what you want to remember, then keep being what you want people to remember. Nothing is forcing you to change that except this illusion that knowledge of what you are actually means anything to who you are.

@GalaxyRaider

You still don't understand. I wish I could. But that too gets lost in the sea of equivalent, empty choices. My programming is what forbids it, not whatever evil soul I have left.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

No, it's NOT just data! It's not a lie! How could you do any of this to Rhythm and me? To all the people who love you, and you loved back? What happened to that? It was real! How could you do this to the people who came all this way to save you just because they cared about us?? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO SAM???
*Launches forward, cleaving apart any viruses in my way*

@System

*Frowns and types at the terminal, pulling up a firewall*
