good-by or good-bye (good bī), interj. & n. a word said when leaving someone; farewell ---good-bys or good-byes, pl.
No matter how many times I go over it in my head, it doesn't compute. None of the data makes sense. I keep checking it, and re-checking it. Isn't a 'good-bye' supposed to be sad, an unpleasant feeling to users? That's what it says within the data, but... it...
Why does it feel different to me? Ever since the user that goes by the name of 'Sora' entered into the system and fought alongside me to defeat Sark and the MCP, I have felt... different...
Are these 'emotions' I feel? Did Sora cause these emotions? I can't think he would since they are so awful. Sora seems too nice of a user to have caused these awful feelings of... what do the users call these feelings?
Boredom (bôr dem), n. the condition of being bored by something dull or uninteresting.
Lonely (lōn lē), adj. 1. unhappy because one is alone or away from friends or family. 2. without others near-by; alone. 3. with few or no people. ---loneliness, n.
Yes, that is what they call them.
No, Sora could not have caused these feelings. It is not Sora who made these feelings encode into my program, it is the aftereffects of that good-bye.
Then why did the good-bye feel so nice? So euphoric?
I remember, as I wrapped my arms around the slender frame of the small user, a warmth spread through my system. It was strange, exciting, and wonderful. Even as he choked out his strange response as if it seemed awkward to him, I still didn't want to let go, didn't want the good-bye to end.
I almost wished he had responded with his own good-bye, wanting to feel his own arms around me as well.
Having noticed the user's awkwardness, I had pulled back, asking him.
"Isn't this what you users do when saying good-bye?"
"It's new to me." He had responded.
It was new to me as well. I wanted to feel it once more, but didn't want to make Sora feel uncomfortable, for he looked like he was. So, I hugged the two other users, but the feeling wasn't the same.
"Oh, parting is such sweet sorrow!" I've read that somewhere before, or atleast something like it. I think I am beginning to understand just what they meant.
Sora, I want you to come back, so I can experience another 'good-bye'.
