It worked, now everyone was awake and happy, but there was something missing.

Specifically Someone.

It was fairly easy for Izuru to recover her AI, however bits and pieces of her memory were missing.

Fortunately Hajime and the others were able to fill in the gaps.

Finally she was ready to come back. Everyone was so happy to have their dear friend back. Hajime thought he would happy but it wasn't enough for him. Finally he decided to talk to her.

"Chiaki I need to ask you something" Hajime said.

"What is it Hajime?" Chiaki asked

"I want to be with you" Hajime said

"But aren't we already together" Chiaki asked trying to hide her blush.

"Now we are but its not enough for me" Hajime said "I want to be with you every second of every day"

"There might be a way" Chiaki said

"What do you mean" Hajime asked

"If you were to upload my AI into your brain then we'd be together all the time" Chiaki said

"Would you be okay with that?" Hajime asked

"Let's see being with you all the time, going to all sorts of places together, and feeling the things you feel" Chiaki said "it sounds very nice"

"Then if you're okay with it I'll ask the others" Hajime said

Of course nobody argued because they knew how happy Chiaki and Hajime would be. Just in case the two wanted time apart Izuru created a device that could separate and retrieve chiakis AI from his brain.

Finally the moment was upon them. Before Hajime succumbed to the anesthetic he caught one last glimpse of Chiaki.

When he woke he was crowded by the faces of his friends. They asked the obvious questions anyone would. Then he saw her.

Had he not known he would've mistaken her for a physical human being.

She looked just as beautiful and serene as she was in the neo world.

"Hello Hajime" Chiaki smiled
