The reminder of his mum's death made him really upset, and now there was only one place he wanted to be…

… His mum's grave.

Victor ran to the graveyard, he didn't care about getting people staring at him, it was dark now. He got the gates of the graveyard and looked up at the sign, tears flooding his last remaining human eye. He knew where her grave was and he wanted to be beside it, forgive her, let her know that he was alive, that he was okay, that he missed her.

Victor climbed over the gate and jumped down onto the ground free of harm. He then sprinted to his mother's grave and kneeled down. He gently stroked the marble of his mother's tombstone and then lent forward onto it, crying heavily.

"Mum, I am so, so sorry for all of this." Victor slobbed. "You asked me if you should go and… and I said yes. Why mum, why." He started to slam his arms onto the dirt over and over again trying to claw at the dirt, trying to get her out, Elinore, his mother. Victor just didn't want to live anymore. He wanted to be there, lying beside his mother, in his own grave.

Victor grabbed his chest with his hand and tried to dig his hand into it. To grab his power source, the thing keeping him alive. Tried to dig it out of his body so that he dies. Vic suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand and he quickly brought it away from his chest.

"Ow, what was that." Victor said to himself.

"You were causing harm to your body that could have led to death, sir. I had to stop you."

"Why did you have to do that?"

"My primary operative is to keep you alive. If sir is trying to cause body harm then I have to stop him. That was the best way to do it."

"I did that. I don't want to live anymore. Why don't you just let me die. I shouldn't be alive and you know that. I am just making sure that nature takes its course. So please, let me do this."

"If the master is interfering with my primary protocol then evasive action has to be taken from causing pain in the hand to being put in stand-by mode and if needed full system shutdown. I would prefer if I did not have to do any of those things. Master should stop and go back to STAR to get checked."

"Dr D. If you can take over my body then why have you never taken control of my body and walk me back to STAR yourself."

"That thought has never crossed my mind but that is a good point."

"Like, never ever. Not even slightly. I mean my father created you and he would think that so why not you?"

"Just because I am created by your father doesn't mean I am like him. You should understand that the best, you are his son. It would mean to take control of your body. And anyway it would be going against the third law; I have to do what my master wants me to do as long as it does not go against the first and second law."

"What are the three laws?"

"1. I must not harm my master.
 2. I must do what is best for my master.
 3. I must do as my master asks.
Of course, as long as 2 and 3 do not go against the first law too much. I would like to ask you something."

"What? You can ask me whatever you want. Well not whatever you want but you know what I mean."

"Why do you despise your father?"

"I was not hoping for this type of question but I will answer it. It's good for my AI to know, it will help you help me. So D my dad he didn't really care about me. He put himself first but my mother cared about me. Well he didn't do this one thing for me. Sign a consent for which would secure my future. If he had done it then I wouldn't have been in the explosion. If he had gone to my game then we would all be here, alive and well. He only cared about his project and well I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Mum knew that it wasn't ready, he didn't listen. His ignorance led to her being killed. The only person that cared about me because Silas thought that he was always right."

"Victor, I want to assure you that if your dad does care about you it's just that you don't choose to believe it. You dad just wants what's best for you. He understood his mistake and he wants to fix it. Talking about your father you have an incoming call from him would you like to answer it."

"No."

"What, why ever not. You may not care or want to talk to him but you can't ignore him forever. I know you know that you believe that you've been too harsh on him and that you still care for him and want him to be okay."

"No, I don't want you to answer it because I am going to go see him in person. Text him to say that I am coming and that I am sorry for what I have done."

"Of course."

"Also, how did you know what I was thinking?"

"I know everything about you, including what you are thinking. Ever since you came online actually."

Victor stood up and left the cemetery. His destination; his father.
