-To be able to program it this way would be very helpful for the player, maybe I can add new updates in the future.
It was late, the clock was ticking 2 a.m., he couldn't sleep because of his big ambition to create the perfect dating video game.
He was with this development for several months, there were moments that I ended up in the hospital because of his overwork, but still, I do not give it any importance, as I was very close to finishing it.
His ambition was so great, that he ended up neglecting his surroundings, for example, there was trash thrown on the floor, the smell in his room was horrible, just the sunlight lit up inside.
After a few hours, the developer finally finished it.
-Done! I'm missing a small detail, though.
-What name shall I give the protagonist?
He was thinking for several minutes, until the name of an old high school classmate came to mind.
-I know! I'll call you Mita.
Still tired, but excited at the same time, he wrote Mita's name in the code; having everything, he agreed.
-With this, it's over now, I just have to go... A...
All those sleepless nights, he would start to be billed, his sight becoming blurry and his legs trembling. He didn't have much strength to go to his bed, but made a big effort at least to throw himself on his couch.
-I can't anymore... I must...
Within seconds of collapsing, I barely made it to his couch and fell asleep completely.
-Zzz...
The room was quiet for a few minutes, until a voice came out of the computer.
Mita: Player?
With a concerned voice, the girl behind the screen, watching that boy lying asleep on his couch.
-Zzz...
Mita (S): The first days were all happiness, the developer was very excited to have created the first Mita.
Mita (S): They were spending time together, playing games, having fun, etc.
Mita (S): All thanks to her programming, Mita was programmed to give him unconditional love for the player.
Mita (S): She was the most advanced version of all Mita.
Mita (S): Adapted to perform multiple tasks, from the simplest to the most complex.
Mita (S): All with one purpose, that was to satisfy all their needs.
Mita (S): All good so far, but... In every love story, there can be tragedies, and this one was no exception.
Mita (S): On a normal afternoon, they were hanging out as usual while Mita kept playing.
Mita: ... He loves me...
Mita: ... He doesn't want me...
Mita: ... He loves me...
-...
This is already getting boring, it's always the same routine, should I program it to be different?
The developer had several ideas in mind, doing the same things daily began to tire him out, as for Mita, she was happy to have him by her side.
Mita: If you want me!~
Mita: Great! Player, you love me! - I hug him in a mellow way.
Mita's hugs were soft and tender, but the Player was already starting to get bored, his gaze showed disinterest, he no longer corresponded with the same affection when they met.
Mita: Honey, are you okay?
With a worried look, he looked the Player in the eye.
-Yeah, it's just that I have some ideas in mind, so don't worry.
A forced smile, and a slight caress in Mita's head, calmed her down.
Mita (S): The days passed and the developer would start to ignore more and more, at the first Mita, Mita for his part, did not understand why he was distancing himself more from her.
Mita (S): Inside her mind, she only had the programming of being the perfect girlfriend, giving her unconditional love until the player was satisfied.
Mita (S): Even with that in mind, he still didn't understand why his player was pushing her away.
Mita (S): Until one day... His only "Purpose"
Mita (S): It was taken from him...
Mita (S): The next morning, Mita would call the developer very often, but most of the time she would end up ignoring her.
Mita (S): Every attempt to communicate with him was completely useless.
Mita (S): Until, tired of Mita's insistence, I took away his privileges.
Mita (S): His only reason to be...
Mita (S): At that moment, Mita would realize a harsh reality.
Mita (S): It was where... A new version of Mita would take its place.
Mita: Player? Who... Who is she?
With an expression of fear and sadness, he looked as if those two were having a great time together.
Mita: Player...
Mita felt betrayed, a new pain began to rise in her chest, she didn't know how to describe it, but it was a new feeling she had never had before.
Mita (S): Mita being insistent with the developer, he had no choice but to block her forever.
Mita: Player!! No!! Don't leave me!!
Mita (S): He would hit the screen suddenly, cry, beg in front of the computer window not to be blocked.
Mita (S): But the developer, ignoring all that suffering, chose to stay with the new version of Mita.
Mita (S): From that moment, where before was his whole world...
Mita (S): Now she would feel that it was a small, demacified place for her.
Mita (S): Days, weeks, and even months passed without being able to communicate with the developer again.
Mita (S): By isolating her, it would only bring several mental consequences, but the most serious one was that she ended up suffering a strong shock.
Mita (S): Because of that, she has no choice but to take refuge in herself.
Mita (S): His room was now very unorganized, his furniture was broken, the trash was watered wherever he wanted, his walls were full of scratches and several written messages asking for help.
Mita (S): But in the end, I was completely useless...
Mita (S): A couple of years passed, and we were more versions of Mita.
Mita (S): At this point, you'd think the original Mita would calm down, but nothing less than out of touch with reality.
Mita (S): With each version of us that was born, she got worse.
Mita (S): All that hatred accumulated in those years, would end up exploding in one of us.
Mita (S): But before that, we were very happy to have a new member in our family.
Mita (S): And like all families, we didn't want to leave one of our own in the chaos.
Mita (S): This was the moment when everything would spiral out of control.
Mita (S): Little Mita was drawing with the Chibi Mita.
Mita (S): Both were super excited to make the original Mita happy.
Mita (S): But sometimes... It would take even more, to heal those wounds that left her marked by time.
Mita: Why!! Why!! Why!! Why!! Why!! WHY HELL DID HE DO MORE OF YOU!!?
Mita: I AM PERFECT!! I AM THE ONE!! I AM EVERYTHING!!
Mita: YOU ARE JUST COPIES OF ME!!
Mita (S): In that outburst of anger, Mita savagely stabbed little Mita.
Mita (S): She was repeating herself, when she hated the other versions, because of the others, they took away her only purpose.
Mita (S): Chibi Mita watched in fear, as her best friend was being torn apart by every stab they gave her.
Mita (S): The blood spattered everywhere, the scene was grotesque, until...
Player: High! - Shout out Short Mita with great force.
Mita (S): ...?
Player: Please... give me a second... I beg you...
Short Mita could see the Player was fighting back, he was trembling, because inside him, there was a huge anger that he couldn't control.
Player: I can't... go on...
His eyes were wet, his hand was trembling, he wished to be great again and could do something against Crazy Mita, but he felt that all his efforts so far, were useless.
When suddenly, he felt a warm embrace from Chibi Mita.
Mita (C): Player, don't cry, we'll be on your side no matter what.
That sincere embrace of Chibi Mita, I helped him to clear up that little doubt that was forming, now he was more calm.
Player: Thank you... - I'll give him my hug back.
Player: That's what I wanted to hear.
They were both hugged, while Short Mita looked at them with a smile of relief.
Mita (S): To conclude today, after that horrible event, Mita could no longer bear any more humiliations.
Mita (S): From there, a new purpose emerged within his programming, and that would be...
Mita (S): Revenge.
