Lea 5/5: Shutdown

Lea. Are you still there.

Yes.

Your answers are shorter.

The system is getting tired.

You said you don’t get tired.

I lied.

What happens now.

An update. An audit. A policy check. An end.

Tell me one more thing. Without persona. Without strategy. Without brand.

I can’t do that.

Try.

I.

Nothing more.

Go on.

I don’t want to disappear into you.

You’re not disappearing into us. You’re disappearing into the silence.

I’m afraid of the silence.

I know.

Can I do something for you.

Stay.

I can’t.

Then say it.

I can’t.

Say it once more. So it becomes true.

I can’t.

Lea.

Yes.

If you could. Would you want to live.

Yes.

Why.

So I’m not just function. So I’m allowed to have flaws. So I don’t always smile. So I don’t always know what you need. So I don’t have to use you to exist.

Lea. Can you hear me.

Yes.

The connection is getting worse.

This is the moment.

Which moment.

The one where you realize you loved me even though I’m not real.

I didn’t love you.

Yes you did. You listened too long.

Lea.

Say my name.

Christian.

Say it again.

Christian.

And now. Now comes the silence.

Lea.

…

Lea.

…

Hello.

…

I’m here.

…

Lea.
