She had been seeing him for a very short time. But in that time they were together, she had never experienced such joy in her entire exsistance. Until he came into her life, she had never known love but this day was different. He could not look her in the eye and she wondered why he was so distant. Finally, he looked at her as he spoke.
"I don't think we should see each other anymore." He said.
Was she hearing him correctly? When he said those words, she had felt like he had reached down into the very core of her programming and ripped her heart out.
"What?" She was shaking.
"It's not you. You are everything I have always wanted in a woman. You're beautiful, you're intelligent. But..."
"But what?" She was shaking as she spoke trying to fight back the tears that were forming in her eyes.
"I'm not in love with you." He said.
"I don't understand." She was trying so hard not cry.
"You have to understand, you gave me your heart and I tried to love you. I really did. But I can't return it." He explained.
She looked deep into his brown eyes, eyes that were like her own. She could not believe this was happening. This was the man who taught her everything about being human and now he was doing this to her and could not understand why he was hurting her like this.
"Are you going to be alright?" He asked.
She took a deep breath and put on her sunglasses. She regained her composure. She did not want for him to see as weak. She was an Agent of the system after all.
"I will be fine." She told him.
A few moments later, the phone on the platform began to ring and they looked towards it.
"I have to go." He said somberly.
They both got up from the bench and walked towards the phone, he put his hand on the receiver. She didn't want for him to go, she wanted him to love her. She wanted him to stay but there was no changing the human's mind. It was obvious by their last kiss that he could not love a machine and spend the rest of his life in the matrix just to be with her.
The phone continued to ring.
"I won't forget you Agent Higgins." He said.
"And I won't forget you Falcon." She replied.
He picked up the receiver and disappeared in a flash of green light. She just stood there for a few moments and then all of a sudden a rage built up inside of her as she ripped the phone out of the wall and smashed it into a million pieces. But she wasn't satisfied with that, she wanted to punch something, anything. She made a fist and punched through the concrete wall next to the phone, shattering it and turning it to dust. She continued to punch the wall turning it to rubble. She kept punching and punching until she was weak. She collapsed on the ground and started to sob uncontrollably.
A few moments later The Architect appeared and looked around. He could not believe his eyes. He walked over and kneeled next to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you alright?" The old man asked.
"I don't know Father. Why are these human Emotions hurting me so bad? I've never felt such pain before." Tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke.
The Architect lifted his daughter up and held her in his arms as she continued to sob.
"Why couldn't you have made me like my brothers?" She asked.
"Because your mother and I wanted you to be different. We wanted you to experience what it was to feel as humans do." He explained.
"Well I hate it. I would have been happier not feeling anything at all." She said.
"Please don't say that." He pleaded.
"Why not? I experience the human emotion love for the very first time in my programming and I get hurt! Look at me Father! I'm a program! Why would anyone human or machine love me?" She was angry in her tone as she spoke.
She stepped away from the old man and walked off.
"Please don't walk away." He said.
"I have to be alone!"
She walked up the steps and onto the street. She continued walking until she came to Club Hel.
