a/n: This is it. The last chapter. The epilogue, actually...

To all who had read thus far: You deserve a cookie.

Now here it is...the end!

Epilogue: Reboot: A New Heart, a New Start?

Life is too short to live it alone. We are born into this world so we can embrace it before we leave it, so someone else can get a chance to experience what we have. And then someday, they will find the words to say thank you for the chance. A chance at life, at existing.

We are never alone, because there will always be others walking the same path as us. There are some may who look up at the passionate sky for answers, and then there are some who embrace it because they are on this Earth, and that was all that mattered to them.

Scars are scars, pain is still pain. Our existence may never have a chance to eradicate that, but there will always be healing. There will always be stories of revival.

And Len Kagamine is keen on telling them.

Four years had passed. And people can change a lot in four years, and by the time you meet them it's like speaking to a different face. They come back with different ideas, tales, motives. Len was one of them...

Len graduated at the tender age of seventeen, with degrees in Medicine and Technology. Everybody respected him as a quiet, whimsical young man who looks at things with serious yet intelligent view. Len himself had returned to the nerd he was: Messy ponytail, and glasses. But now that he was an acclaimed professor, "nerd" isn't the right word to describe him now.

And about his promise to Rin? Len shared her story to the world. He established a foundation in her name, to help with teens that were depressed and cutting. He traveled to schools and youth gatherings, telling his own story...and Rin's.

But the story of the Electric Angel was never mentioned. Maybe he did post it online, it's there somewhere. Maybe even as Fanfiction, perhaps? We may never know.

However, many lives were saved because of his foundation and consultation. Clients reported the man's outstanding sympathy and kind eyes, something that otherwise contrasted against someone who was alone and reserved.

Well, not exactly alone. Len explained the entire story to Lenka, and she forgave him right away. After a few months, the two decided to replenish the state of their relationship. And things were going well (he still kept in contact with Teto, and Iroha).

After giving her nothing but chocolate for two years, Len finally invested enough money for a trip to Europe, for Iroha. And in return, she revealed to him his sister's grave, which she had promised to keep a secret. In the flowers that he had laid upon her grave, he stuck the USB in it as well.

Len also managed to supply a private lab, far away from the city. He would drive there everyday after work, to do research. Nobody knows what his purpose was, however.

Today, though, was his eighteenth birthday.

(Four years later) December 27

The snow sashayed from the sky, putting on a dazzling dance before they disappear into the ground. In the middle of it all, stood a tall blonde who sported a ponytail. She was waiting, fidgeting in the cold for her ride home. Lenka stood outside of her art studio, with her latest masterpiece tucked safe underneath her jacket. Where is he?

Lenka wasn't worried, though. He was always late, and she grew accustomed to that. It's just that today, she had something to give him. She was afraid he'll be thrown into depression or trauma after remembering "her". But it was worth a try. After all, she did it for him.

Lenka smiled under her scarf, as she saw a familiar car pull up from the distance. She yelled out his name, running towards it.

"Len!" She bounced into the passenger seat, leaning over to give him a quick kiss. Len returned it, smiling.

"How late was I this time?"

Lenka checked her watch. "47 minutes. Not too bad, actually." She smirked. "A new record."

She shook the snow off her jacket, and hair. Len hardly changed, although puberty had seriously worked wonders on him. For one, he doesn't have that adorable "shota" voice that he was known for in high school. However, the pitching was still evident when he screamed.

"Oh serendipity. Just in time for my birthday, as well!" Len remarked jokingly.

However, Lenka noticed the subtle changes in his eyes, that only appeared for a second. He remembered that today was "her" birthday as well.

Lenka closed her eyes, as they continued to drive through the snow laden streets. "Len-chan, I've been having dreams lately. And they were of the Electric Angel."

Len stomped on the breaks, his eyes widening from behind his thin glasses. "Impossible. Y-you have? You've seen her?"

"No, never. But she came to my dreams, so many times that I've eventually had to draw her. It's crazy how clear she looks."

Lenka removed the petite canvas from her jacket, handing it over to him as he parked. "She told me to wish you a happy birthday."

Painted in watercolour was the electric angel, just like how he had remembered her. Rin was sitting on a giant heart, surrounded by staffs of music. She had a ribbon in her hand, which was tied to a cursor. Her elegant wings glimmered with electric light, an invisible wind moving them. And she was smiling, a smile he knew and adored, complimenting the happiness in her pupiless eyes.

In the right hand corner was Lenka's signature, and also a title:

"From the Bottom of my Quantum Heart.

~ In memory of Rin Kagamine."

A gentle smile broke out on Len's face, as he gazed into the painting. The accuracy of the artwork was so realistic, that he could see her wings and hair swaying leisurely.

"So...do you like it?"

Len closed his eyes, gathering his breath before he spoke.

"No. I love it."

After dropping off his girlfriend to her house, Len made a beeline to the outskirts of town. His personal lab was located on a hill, bordered by lush, evergreen trees. Like everyone else in this world, he had secrets of his own. Upon climbing the hill and going through several security measures, he walked in.

Professional scientists shared these quarters, but nobody was present at the moment. This was what Len loved, and that was solitude and silence. But a part of his heart always ached for a little company.

His footsteps fell to the beat of his heart, as he made his way down a flight of dark stairs. He always had a rush of adrenaline whenever he went to the special room. Four years worth of hard work was stored in that chamber. There had been labs where children get experimented on to find a link to immortality, or when asylum patients are vivisected and rearranged to created gruesome circus performers.

But Len's intentions were entirely different, and definitely not horrific.

His hand grasped the doorknob, inserting a key, and then he was in. A steady, familiar glow of light welcomed him, as the air reeked with nostalgia.

There was hardly anything in the top secret unit. Just a dashboard of buttons, a few lights, some monitors, and a table of assorted mechanics. In the far side of the room was an alcove, which also held an unbreakable glass tube. A sheet was draped over the compartment, with wires sticking out of the subject.

Today was their birthday.

Len took a breath, smiling. He threw the sheet off, revealing what lay hidden underneath. Shrouded in darkness and shadow, the light finally shined through the reveal her, suspended within the glass.

In front of him was Rin. Except it wasn't exactly her, but a duplicate. A robot, you may say.

Len denied help from anyone else, and the result took four years. But he realized that now, Rin wants her voice to be heard. She came to Lenka in her dreams, broadcasting herself in the most intricate of ways.

She was everything his sister was. Her brother spent hours a day on constructing, painting, and programming her, and every drop of sweat was created because of her being. The new Rin was a sleek, human-like model. Her hair was attached with the most soft of synthetic fibre, coloured specifically as Len's. Her skin is flawless, with her thin body upright and rigid in her sailor clothes. The only difference was that she was fourteen...and a red "02" was imprinted on her left shoulder. She was Rin the second, not counting the electric angel. Today was the start of something new.

"Hey sis. I missed you." Len looked up into her emotionless, yet haunting visage. Her eyes were closed...on her calm face of never ending youth.

"You've been visiting Lenka in her dreams, huh? Don't think I forgot you." He lifted up Lenka's painting, although he was sure she couldn't see it. "I'll never forget anything after this happened. And I kept your promise, haven't I? Did you know that three more teens were saved today because of the foundation? And that I got letters, with individuals asking about you? You've made yourself known, Rin. That was all you wanted, right?"

The robot didn't answer. Len walked up to the casing, putting his hand against it.

"This is it, Rin. This is your Proof of Life."

He padded over to the control panel, touching the monitors. His fingers danced across the complex keyboard, ringing up insanely long commands and numbers. Finally, it was ready. But the initiation had a great chance of failing. Then the work he had put into would be wasted.

Either way, he still did it. He did it for Rin.

Len's hand inserted into his pocket, fingering the charm that was hidden from peeling eyes. He took it out, showing it to the robot.

"It took four years, but it was all worth it. If this works, we'll be twins again." Len's hand subconsciously moved over to his heart. "I'll teach you everything you need to know, I promise. It'll be like restarting, but it will be just us. Me and you, forever. I'll teach you what forever means, Rin. If only I could get your Kokoro programmed, then you will be completed. That takes time, though." He stared remorsefully at the heart charm in his palm, the one he had smashed a long time ago. But the male had repaired it, after all it meant to him.

"But don't you worry. I'll get it completed in no time, so you can feel what emotions are like. In the meantime, you have me. I'm working on your Kokoro now, and it's really complicated. But you'll love it, sis."

Something bleeped, catching his eye. From the monitor swarming with Rin's data, came an alert.

"Initiating PROJECT: Re_birthday."

She was ready.

With the sound like birds taking off, the casing opened. The cool air hit Len harder than expected, condensing into cold smoke as it was released. Len walked over to the keyboard, where a small lock had opened. Inside was her Heart, the one she left behind as a reminder that she would always be with him. It was beating on this very day, aglow with youthful light.

He gently removed a latch on her chest, where there was a hollow compartment. Len inserted the Heart, and the power button started flashing. Light flooded her veins, giving her skin life. Whirs of gears and slick inner-workings were audible. The air suddenly grew warm, as her chest moved just the slightest bit. Len was hit with indescribable joy that his experiment worked. Finally, he accomplished something in his life. Tears streamed down his face, as he dwelt on that fact that his sister WAS coming back. His heart rate accelerated, pure anticipation as he watched a machine he created come to life.

Even though she may not show him the love that he felt for her, Len would never give up on Rin. He had started something new, resurrected a former figure, and he wasn't going to end it. He just had to complete the Kokoro, and all will be well. It's all well.

Len Kagamine spoke affectionately to his robot, holding his hand out to her:

"Wake up, Rin-chan. Today is your new birthday."

Her eyes fluttered opened, and they were the most beautiful blue that he had ever seen.

~The End~

a/n: I guess Len just couldn't really separate from his sister. You may know how the story continues after this, according to Kokoro~Kiseki. ;_; Just in case you wanted to know, Rin 02 the robot isn't the same person as the Electric Angel, because now she's at rest. ^.^ He created her to because he wanted to play with her again, I guess. You can say the ending wasn't the happiest, because he's clearly a bit to crazy to let her go, just yet. And if you've listened to Kokoro, (spoiler) you know he never completes it. :(

Anyways, even if that wasn't the ending you had hoped, I still wish you enjoyed it~ :D And now I can get back to updating the Dollmaker, heh~ Thank you for your support, to take your time to read my writing, it means so much! Until next time! \(^o^)/
