Chapter one – lost and found

Chitose Hibiya sat at her dining table. She was very content with the way things turned out with Chii. She was happy, found 'the one for her', and most of the persicons in the world had emotions now.

She was absently watching a discussion on persicon emotions, and how their owners should handle this. One of the men on TV claimed it was a flaw, and it should be repaired. Chitose didn't like the man. It has been 12 months now, and people still haven't figured out, that a creature with emotions, should be able to keep them. Unfortunately there were human rights, but no persicon thought things would work out by themselves.

Something caught her attention. A small beeping sound came from the lab, in the basement. E-mail. But very few people knew her address, so it must Minoru some something.

As she sat down, she opened her inbox to see who the e-mail was from. She froze eyes wide. 'He is dead' she thought. 'We de-activated him years ago'. She began to look up the ip-adress, to see where the mail originated from. It appeared to be a mobile address, somewhere here in Tokyo. She sat for a moment, trying to figure out why he wanted to talk to her.
