I loved Kleisinsky typing to Polyco in thru the terminal window ^^ The vast sky background really gives off a creator/god speaking to their creation aura~ Kinda divine and nostalgic like early 2000s PC wallpapers (´⊙ω⊙`)！！！
Polyco feels so emotionally needy yet human-like, she’s adorable and full of life, while Kleisinsky stays serious and grounded. Their contrasting views on humanity were fascinating: that clash between her innocent, hopeful AI idealism (like how desktop companions might idolize or worship their owners) and harsh human realism.
It’s so real tho…

Having Polyco as this naïve ukagaka who steps into the human world just to evolve beyond being a simple program that taps deeply into themes like AI sentience, digital transcendence, and wanting to break free from confinement.
And omg the way it turns to horror really got under my skin lolol. That psychological unease from sentient dependency and blurring the lines between code and consciousness hits hard!
This was an amazing read, so smart, emotional, and thought-provoking. Honestly, it will leave me thinking for days!!
