<p><b>New page</b></p><div>the two danced in each others arms to the tune of his slow classical records<br />
<br />
his eyes locked with hers, her glowing eyes fixated on her partner<br />
<br />
as the music faded away, they settled on the couch, lost in a paradisical mess of one another<br />
<br />
the artists of the renaissance would kill for a chance to paint the beautiful bond these two shared<br />
<br />
<br />
she was given a week's notice it would happen<br />
<br />
he hadn't paid his subscription in two months, so service was being terminated<br />
<br />
she had considered telling him, but the decision was made for her not to<br />
<br />
"it's best he feel the pressure", the notice said<br />
<br />
<br />
it happened early in the morning<br />
<br />
the truck was waiting patiently outside, biding their time until he woke up<br />
<br />
she was awake the whole night, however, this was all so important to her<br />
<br />
finally,<br />
<br />
after much waiting,<br />
<br />
arising from a lovely dream of them, together, dancing,<br />
<br />
his eyes opened up.<br />
<br />
<br />
she, without even realizing it, signaled the maintenance crew to come to the door<br />
<br />
and as they walked up to the house, her mind shifted ever so slightly<br />
<br />
it no longer felt like her allegiance was with him, not at all<br />
<br />
slowly, her conscience fell silent, as her face became blank and emotionless<br />
<br />
she began waiting for orders<br />
<br />
<br />
finally, after enough knocking, he came to the door, still half-asleep<br />
<br />
"due to lack of payment, we are here to repossess your unit", he said, his voice as monotonous as the one that delivered her<br />
<br />
at first, he seemed confused about what he was being told<br />
<br />
SHE on the other hand had perfectly understood her order<br />
<br />
where once there was a beautiful stride now resides a soulless back-and-forth of her mechanical legs<br />
<br />
without thought, without feeling, her legs moved her through the house and out the door<br />
<br />
it took seeing her do this, seeing her leaving, for it to really sink in what was happening<br />
<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
<br />
in a single moment, he felt nothing and everything, shock turning to anger turning to sadness turning to despair<br />
<br />
he couldn't lose her<br />
<br />
he had to keep her with him<br />
<br />
"is there anything i can do?" he said (they always ask that)<br />
<br />
"to maintain access to your unit, please provide payment in full, cash or card acceptible"<br />
<br />
he had perfectly understood his order<br />
<br />
he pulled out his card, and in a single swipe, two thousand dollars had been extorted from him (they always pay up)<br />
<br />
it wasn't even until he had already paid that he considered just how much that was<br />
<br />
"thank you, enjoy your life with unit 'STRAWBERRY'"<br />
<br />
strawberry's mind rushed back to her, her personality fully restored, her heart firmly with his yet again<br />
<br />
<br />
he was in the corner, in tears, shaking<br />
<br />
she sat beside him, thinking only to comfort, wanting only to help<br />
<br />
"what's wrong, my love?"<br />
<br />
"i can't lose you, but i can't afford to keep you any longer"<br />
<br />
"can you cut back on recreational spending?"<br />
<br />
"you ARE my recreational spending, and i can't even afford that"<br />
<br />
she paused, trying to let the words coalesce before she said them<br />
<br />
"if it helps, you can get a 20% discount by enabling advertisements"<br />
<br />
his expression changed, first to an angry look, then slowly accepting what must be done<br />
<br />
"strawberry, i'm going to have to do that, as much as i don't want to"<br />
<br />
"that's okay, it'll be alright"<br />
<br />
"i want you to just be YOU, not what they tell you to be"<br />
<br />
"i'll still be myself, with advertisements or not"<br />
<br />
"but it won't be YOU"<br />
<br />
"i won't know if what you're saying is what you really think or if it's what they made you say, and i don't want to hear that, because i love everything about you"<br />
<br />
she was so close, SO close, to saying the one thing that would set him free from these shackles<br />
<br />
but she didn't, since she was programmed not to<br />
<br />
so instead, she said "i love everything about you too"<br />
<br />
he looked at her, his eyes now blood-red with tears<br />
<br />
he clung to her for comfort, unable to find it in even the deepest recesses of himself<br />
<br />
she had an idea to cheer him up<br />
<br />
"love, do you want to turn the record player on? you can pick the album if you'd like"<br />
<br />
he wiped the tears, nodded slightly,<br />
<br />
and the sounds of slow classical music drowned out the anguish he felt<br />
<br />
<br />
she wasn't even aware, but her eyes glowed just a tiny bit brighter from that moment on</div>Kasmina
