------------------------

Chi ran and ran as fast as she could. She didnt know where she would go, but she just had to leave. Manager lied to me...Hideki...doesnt love me... She finally stopped running near a trash crash and started walking. Suddenly she stopped and looked up at the moon."Hideki ...I just wanted you to be happy...but I see now, you can't be happy because of me...right?"

"CHIII!" Hideki came running towards her. "Chiii! Wait...please!" Chi turned her head back.

"Hideki..."

"Chi..." He ran up to her and pulled her towards him, hugging her tightly. "Oh Chi...you scared me so much..."

"Hideki...its ok...I...understand now..." Hideki looked at her confused.

"Chi?" She looked away.

"Hideki...can't be happy with Chi. Chi understands. Chi is sad, but has no choice. Chi must accept." Hideki looked at her. She may have been just a persocom, but he had true feelings for her and he was certain she did as well.

"Oh Chi...it isn't like that at all..."

"It's not?"

"Chi..." Hideki said holding her close to him. "Hideki can't be happy without you, Chi."

"Chi..." As Chi closed her eyes, her entire system shut down. Hideki felt the sudden weight and fell to the ground holding Chi.

"CHI! CHI! Wake up Chi!...Wake up!" Hideki sat there holding her close to him. "Chi...what happened? Please wake up...Chi...please...stay with me..."

"Motosuwa!"

"Senpei!" Hideki turned his head and saw Yumi and Mr. Ueda rushing towards them.

"Motosuwa! What happened to her?" asked Mr. Ueda.

"I'm not sure...she just stopped moving..."

"Let's get her back to your place..." said Yumi. Mr. Ueda helped Hideki carry Chi into a cab that Yumi managed to get. They drove back to Hideki's apartment. As they approached the building, Ms. Hibiya was outside sweeping. She looked up and saw the lifeless Chi.

"Oh my...is...Chi alright?" She asked following them upstairs.

"We're not sure what happened..." Yumi told her. As they entered Hideki's apartment, Shinbo walked out of his with Sumomo and Kotoko on his shoulders.

"Motosuwa?" He walked into the apartment with everyone else and looked at him and Chi. "Motosuwa! What happened to Chi?"

"Shinbo! Help! Chi...just ...shut off.." Shinbo quickly walked over to Chi's side and took a quick look at her.

"It's strange...I'm not sure what happened..I'll connect Sumono and see what she can find...Sumomo."

"Yes. Please connect me." Shinbo connected Sumomo with Chi and she ran a quick diagnosis and scan. "I'm sorry, i cannot find any problems with her. A more thorough search is required."

"I see...we should take her to Minoru...maybe he can help..." suggested Shinbo. Hideki nodded, never taking his eyes off Chi.

"Well...Motosuwa...Yumi and I are going home..." said Mr. Ueda. Hideki stood up and shook Mr. Ueda's hand.

"Thank you for helping me with Chi."

"It's no problem...just take care of her ok?" Hideki nodded. Yumi and Mr. Ueda left. Ms. Hibya knelt beside Chi sadly.

"Oh Chi..." she said turning away.

"Ms. Hibya..." started Hideki.

"Well..." she said standing up after composing herself, "I'll leave her in your care ok?" With that she left the apartment. Hideki sat beside Chi, still holding her, feeling sad and crushed.

"Chi..." Hideki said pulling her to him, burrying his face in her neck and shoulder, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry Chi..."

"Mo-motosuwa..." said Shinbo from behind him. "I called a taxi, let's go." Hideki held her a little longer, then carefully placed her on his back and slowly walked out of his apartment with Shinbo close behind him. They walked out of the building and into the taxi that awaited them, and drove to Minoru's mansion.
