AI: Kagerou Project. WHY.

Haven't written in ages, but yesterday was August 15th, and somehow, that got me out of writer's block. I uploaded this fic on tumblr yesterday and figured that I might as well do it here, too.

Oh, and I changed my alias to AI- not that Luna was ever much of an alias, anyway.

Ene zoomed through folder after folder, searching for blackmail material that could be used against her Master.

"'Discarded_Songs', 'photos_of_momo', 'random_pics'… boring, finished, and already done." Groaning, she plopped down onto the 'Libraries' icon. "C'mon, Master can't only have one secret folder!"

The cyber girl absentmindedly let her pixelated sleeves hang over the manila folder, thinking of any files she might have overlooked. After a while, Ene hadn't gotten any ideas, so she sighed, getting up.

Her fingers accidentally grazed the corner of the 'Documents' icon, causing the existence of more files to reveal itself.

She blinked. "Were these here before?" A mischievous grin stretched across her face. "There must be some good stuff in here!"

Diving into the data, she continued her search. There were a few good finds ('shin-chan_3_years_old', for one- Ene assumed that the culprit had been Master's mother), but when she got to a password-protected folder labeled 'never_forget', she knew she had hit the jackpot.

"Let's see…" Ene smirked, her innate keyboard ready to go. "'kisaragi'?" Bzzt. "'computer'?" Bzzt. "'memories'?" Bzzt.

After trying what felt like hundreds of potential passwords, Ene was getting frustrated. When 'soda' didn't work, she let out a growl. "What is it, then?! I've tried everythi-"

She stopped short. She hadn't tried everything, but if that last word was the password, then she wasn't sure if she wanted to know what was in this folder.

Ene typed in 'ayano'.

It unlocked.

Preparing herself, she zoomed out and surveyed the contents. What she saw would have caused her to break down in silent tears if she had still been human.

Pictures of a girl smiling, an origami crane, a study session, the same girl laughing.

Scans of test scores that slowly improved over time.

Typed letters addressed to someone who would never read them.

Ene choked back a sobbing sound when she saw an especially frantic letter, one that showed her just how close her Master had been to killing himself.

She wasn't sure how long she had spent staring at the contents of the folder when she heard the footsteps of her Master, who was coming back from the bathroom. Just before she closed the window, Ene downloaded a photo of Shintaro, Ayano, Haruka, and herself into her personal files. Hastily erasing any traces of her having opened the folder, she flew to the center of the screen with a bright smile.

"Welcome back, Master!"
