I wake up in a gasp for air in the real world. Tawaki removes my Nerve Gear, but I squirm and scream "Miku". Others around me were confused, but Tokuma was saddened. She was having a meltdown as well, however I tend to really lose it.
"Bring Miku back!" I demanded. Several men had to hold me down and inject some medicine to calm me down. In a second I was asleep. Meanwhile, Tokuma was getting detached from all of the machinery so she could leave. But she decided to stay by my side till I woke up. My mom drove us home and I was still grieving. I couldn't let my mom know why because she'd think I'm crazy to cry over someone who doesn't exist.
As soon as I got home, I went to my room to cry. Sad thing was, tomorrow is my birthday and I'm not hyped. I should be: I'm supposed to be a cheerful girl who keeps everyone smiling. But now I'm the opposite.
I can't get Hatsune Miku off my mind and it doesn't help that I listen to her music every day. Specifically the sad ones like Crier, I'm Hurt, and Nonsense Speaker. I just want to feel her by my side, see her face, and spend quality time with her. But I won't get any of that!
On October 22, I'm once again alone without anyone to celebrate the day I was born on. Everyone was out doing their own thing: my parents are at work and my brother is working in the basement. Meanwhile, I'm in my room listening and watching Miku singing her nonexistent heart out. Seeing her sweet face made me smile and cry.
When I heard the phone ring, it was Tokuma so I answered.
"I miss Miku so much." I cried.
"Me too fam." Tokuma agreed.
"Did she really delete herself from all of virtual existence?"
"Good question, maybe she exists in other virtual worlds."
That's when I look online and I find that Hatsune Miku's concert was canceled because she cannot be found. Everyone in the Crypton Future Media Company is frantically searching for her so the show can go on. Even Professor Tawaki, one of the company's new members is helping as well.
After hours of searching, Tawaki finds Hatsune Miku in the trash bin of the computer I was zapped into. So Miku didn't permanently delete herself, only Zatsune was. When he contacts the company, everyone gets excited and the concert can go on. Tawaki suggested a USA Tour with there being so many fans in the United States. Because of my grief, he allows Miku to perform today as a birthday gift.
Tokuma and I get to be at the front row for the concert which is 's even better is that I got to pick the setlist: meaning I got to pick the songs. Miku will open with World is Mine, next is Rolling Girl, then Senbonzakara, Insanity, Heath, and then I let Tokuma pick the rest. It was awesome getting to see this hologram in action and what caught me by surprise was Miku singing "Happy Birthday" to me and at the end said in Japanese, "Happy birthday, Rebekah! I love you!"
At the end of the show, I was taken backstage where Tawaki and the translator who is named Mike by the way. Sorry for not saying that earlier. On the table in front of me was one present from Tokuma and it was a Hatsune Miku plush. I cried and hugged it tight.
That wasn't all, a little something Japan has been working on came through the door and that was a Hatsune Miku robot. Yes, that's right, a human-like robot! She had memory of me and Tokuma installed into her electronic brain. What made this robot interesting was for some reason, one no one can explain is that a real heart was installed in her chest. It was able to give Miku emotions and some free will. The heart is connected to her electronic brain so when it feels something it'll send signals to the brain making her feel emotions and when possible, choose for herself. Also she can speak English, Japanese, and Chinese. The CFC are working on getting her to learn more languages as well as make the other Vocaloids in robot form.
"Hello, Rebekah and Tokuma." Miku said walking towards us. She tries giving me a hug, but unlike humans this robot has a hard time moving its limbs so she still has that robotic movement. Her robot skin was cold, but not dead cold. I could feel some kind of soul resonating from Miku because I know when I feel something touch my heart from the inside the person is alive.
"I love you Miku." I said kissing her head.
"I love you too." she said smiling.
The eyes are windows to the soul, but humans can't create that. Still, Miku can live in robotic flesh with the world longer than any human being can. If her heart stops, her electronic brain will still work but she will conform to a normal robot with memories. So a new heart will be given to her when there is one available.
Soon, robo Miku will be able to perform in live shows like the hologram but maybe even better. The future holds so many possibilities it's overwhelming and exciting. Sometimes it can be scary, but I know one thing is certain: as long as God remains in my life (I hope you keep Him in yours) He will work all things together for my good. Good comes even for the wicked, but in the end evil never truly wins.
So after celebrating, Hatsune Miku and Tawaki go back to Japan. It was sad, but I'm glad to know Miku is alive in the virtual world, in the real world, and in our hearts.
