LOADING: Test Run 006     Electricity whirred through her body, the blue in her LED lights pulsing in intervals. Sadness was basically seeping out of the three female scientists, as the leader of the team stepped forward. Moonbyul's reached out and paused, a conflicted look crossing her face. She felt horrible. She was about to delete her creation, her friend. A sharp intake of breath filled her lungs, and she shut her eyelids. Moonbyul pressed the button.   The monitor flashed a brilliant green.   INITIALIZING: RESET 0%   Moonbyul felt a slight tinge at her chest. It was horrible.   INITIALIZING: RESET 25%   The tinge was beginning to grow to her stomach, and it pushed and pulled against her ribcage. Was it guilt? It felt agonizing.   INITIALIZING: RESET 50%   Halfway through now. It has spread. Spread to her abdomen, her chest, and it was heavy. So, so heavy. Was it anger? It felt dreadful.   INITIALIZING: RESET 75%   Almost done now. The feeling had already spread all over her body. And then, she realised. It wasn't guilt, nor anger. What could it be? It felt awful.   INITIALIZING: RESET 100%   It was done. Nausea pained her stomach, her heart, and chest. Her legs felt weak. Denial engulfed her thoughts. She knew what this feeling was.

"Here for your test run, Solar?"   "I-"   Moonbyul paused at Solar's hesitation, her heart rapidly thumping against its cage. Please, please say it.   "-wanted to ask if I'm supposed to feel weird? Like, I feel as if some part of me is missing. As if I had left something behind after the reset was done. Is that supposed to happen?"   The scientist twitched at her words, and sighed. Biting down on her bottom lip in order to conceal her emotions, she replied, "Yes- no. Yes? I don't know. I suppose it's because it's programmed into you. Like everything you're feeling." She gripped the edge of the table she was leaning against.   The android in front of her nodded. "I understand completely. All programmed into me. Alright, thank you. I'll be going now." She left the lab in a hurry, feeling Moonbyul's eyes on her the whole time.   For some reason unknown to Solar, when her creator had said the words "programmed into you", she felt slightly sad. And she didn't know why, or where it was coming from. She needed answers, she decided.   # # #   Moonbyul hurried towards Solar's charging pod, hoping that Solar wouldn't come back early from Hwasa's lab. There had to be something ther
