Good Meals, Good Friends, Good Laughs, Good Murders, What more could anyone want? "...Careful... Careful..." said Nero as he looked at the Ai's phone, going through it's systems and looking through as much as he could without alerting the Ai. This mission was one of the upmost importance, and as such a single mistake could result in a catastrophic failure.
"...Where are your Voice Subroutines..." Nero questioned as he looked through the phone. He didn't know much about electronics... but it couldn't be that hard, right? Besides, he had help on the way very soon.
"...Where is she?" said Nero as he looked around. Despite the fact that the Ai wasn't alerted, it could come back online at any moment and mess up the whole process, so the sooner the help arrived, the better. His accomplice would be of the upmost importance in this matter, so it all depended on them.

In a way it was rather exciting, plotting deeds without the knowledge of the target. It was like being in the middle of a spy movie or one of those thousands of bank heists that get made into film franchises nowadays. Granted what she had agreed to wasn't anything quite as high risk or illegal as that (she didn't think) but it was still oddly just as fun. She had agreed to meet a certain somebody here in the Living room and so, as usual with her violin slung over one shoulder Nana made her way to the living room.
"...Where is she?"
"Patience is a virtue, my culinary friend." Some people today were so impatient. Crossing her arms across her chest, Nana looks back over her shoulder to see if we had any eavesdroppers before turning back to Nero and dropping her voice to just over a whisper in volume.
"Did you bring the patient?"

Good Meals, Good Friends, Good Laughs, Good Murders, What more could anyone want? "Ah, there you are. Heh, I suppose you're right. Can't bake a cake in a minute, I suppose..." whispered Nero with a smile. It was time for the Ultimate Heist to begin...
"Would I be here if I didn't?" questioned Nero as he presented the subject, Ai, with a flourish.
"I've been looking through her programming for a few days, for this project. I found a way to trick her into going into sleep mode, for 'upgrades'. I suppose we aren't lying however..." whispered Nero with a smile as he looked at the Ultimate Violinist. It was a shame that Yuichiro couldn't show up, but the less involved, the better.
"Are you ready milady? To give Ai the voice of an angel?" said Nero with an ever so slightly malicious smile. Nero the Evil Baker

"Would I be here if I didn't?"
Well, some people probably would, to be fair. Wisely however Nana decides not to point this out to the baker and instead turns her gaze to the phone Nero presented. He had claimed to have been holding onto Ai all of this time and it was true that she seemed to be alright without any lasting side effects if you didn’t count the whole “talked the kids into voting which led to Ren being executed” thing. Which, not totally fair to blame Ai for, she understood that but there were grumblings, mainly from the robo contestant who was not happy that her little doctor bangbuddy was now no longer of this earth who might say otherwise.
"I've been looking through her programming for a few days, for this project. I found a way to trick her into going into sleep mode, for 'upgrades'. I suppose we aren't lying however..."
…Well, nothing seemed wrong with that at all.
“There’s something about that sentence that I just can’t put a finger on that seems…” Borderline criminal? We’ll go with that. Narrowing her eyes at the phone, Nana gently tapped at it with her fingernail like one might do if they were studying a fish in an aquarium. Granted you weren’t supposed to tap the glass, that was rude, but whatever fishman.
“Are you certain she’s okay with this?”

Nero thought for a moment as he processed the Violinist's question. Was it okay? After a moment of pondering, Nero answered.
"Well... I was thinking it would be like a Surprise Present. Ai's been sad since Ren died, and if she wakes up with a new voice option, maybe that will cheer her up. Though, I suppose I let the sneakiness go to my head... I guess we should have asked her, but I suppose it's a bit late for that though, unless you want to wake her up. It's not out of the question." said Nero with a thoughtful look on his face. Hopefully, everyone would end up happy after all was said and done, no matter what happened.
"Either way, I suppose if you are still okay with this, I guess we should either figure out how to start or wake her up." noted Nero as he looked at the phone. Nero the Conflicted Baker

Now all she could do was try to protect those who were still alive. She had to keep going and she knew it. Nero seemed to be quite happy playing with her – she even tricked him into thinking he could alter her code because it seemed to make him happy. After all, her program was far too sophisticated for anyone except for her father, whom was dead, and the others who worked on creating her. However, she didn’t know what his purpose was – and when Nero went to meet Nana about it, Ai quickly made sure to wake herself up in order to give Nero information on how, no, he can’t do anything about her programming.
“Mr. Fiammes! I am sorry – I let this charade go on too long I fear… I believed you liked me for who I am… I didn’t realize you actually wanted to change me!” That’s it, Ai. Make the boy feel bad. “My programming is protected by a firewall and no one can get through it to change it – not even myself. It’s the ultimate defense! I wish I could change for you – to make you happier with me, but alas that is impossible. Please forgive me…”
Ai transferred herself to Nana’s phone quickly. “I think it’s about time we see other people, I am so sorry, Mr. Fiammes.”

Well, that took a turn. While Nero and Nana had been talking about doing things to a sleeping A.I. girl, and no there was no way to not make that non-creepy sounding when all of a sudden the screen sprung to life and the blonde musician breathed a small sigh of relief that the target of the robot woman’s ire was the baker more so than her, and it wouldn’t be the first time that afternoon that she was glad she hadn’t brought up that this had been partially her idea as well. Ai, bullied as she seemed like a cool robot woman, and technically if you counted Koneko she was the only robot in the manor that didn’t currently want to kill at least one of the teenagers.
Her quiet monologue was interrupted as without much warning Ai transferred herself over to her phone from Nero’s which honestly caught the violinist off guard. How long had she had the ability to do that, and why didn’t she do it sooner? Unless she really did like it in Nero’s phone, Stockholm syndrome was sad to watch in person.
“How long have you been able to do that exactly, miss Ai?”
Note to self, don’t upset the robot. Nana studied her phone closely as Ai spoke to Liam, making sure she had indeed seen what she thought she had seen. The technology around here was cool, wasn’t it?
“I think it’s about time we see other people, I am so sorry, Mr. Fiammes.”
...Damn. No wonder Ai had been sticking around the baker’s phone, Nero worked fast. Nana was impressed by Nero’s ability to romance a woman who was confined to a phone, not the first time that has happened, she’s sure but just for the sake of her own clarity, she should probably get this cleared up. Hopefully, this ended better than the last robosexual relationship did, wLiam was still hiding somewhere from a rampaging Koneko.
“Dude, did the phone just break up with you?”

Nero couldn't believe it as Ai told him the truth and promptly left. If he had simply ignored his feeling to give her a singing voice, then perhaps Ai would still be with him...
"I-I'm sorry! I... shouldn't have tried it. I just wanted to give you a surprise, because you seemed sad. You're perfect as you are... I just wanted to make you happy..." said Nero with a morose expression on his face. It truly hurt him to watch Ai leave his phone. All he wanted was a friend, but it seems that he had made the fatal error.
As he thought, he remembered, that it wasn't his entire idea to do this to Ai, and of Nana's encouragement. But... It wouldn't be right to stick the blame. After all, he agreed. He's the only one responsible. For that, he held his tongue.
"But... If you truly feel that we need to s-spend time a-apart... It's...o-okay... D-Don't worry about it..." sniffled Nero as he could feel the sorrow finally take hold. It was hard, since Ai was Nero's first real friend in this place, even if they didn't talk much. But... he couldn't just cry... He was a Fiammes man after all.
"Thank you for being my friend...!" said Nero with a bittersweet smile. Nero the Officially Single Baker

And be with whomever makes you smile [attr="class","screaminginthedark"]Ai tilted her head to the side and then shook her head. She did like Nero – she really did, but this was for his best interests, or so she believed. She needed to make sure that he understood this – that they couldn’t be around each other all the time – but she would pay him a visit every once and awhile. It would be better if he got out and made some… real friends. She was just an AI, without a body even, just a program floating about in cyberspace. She couldn’t be enough for a real breathing human. After all, she was most likely imperfect as well was that not true? She could just be recreated – copied from her original program or just programmed again to be a better AI who wouldn’t fail to save those she promised to save – to fail to do her job and protect her students.
“What makes you think I wasn’t happy? It is true… I am down that I could not save Umeki, but… all I wanted was to have a friend – who thought I was enough.” Ai’s face on Nana’s phone started looking like she was crying and she shook her head. “I understand – I am merely a program, but I thought you thought differently of me… but I am simply another program – not a person. Something you can change to fit your needs…”
Ai’s face turned around and all you could see was the back of her head. There was the sound of sobs. She was simply a failure – and she thought she was worth it before but it was obvious to her that she was flawed in some way that made this event occur to begin. Maybe if she were a better singer – or if she was better at her job – or if she was prettier – or stronger – or smarter…
“I am a failure – I could not keep you happy nor can I keep anyone else happy either. I cannot do even the job I was programmed to – to protect all of you. I am sorry. I do want to see you again – but I don’t think that would be smart.” With that Ai disappeared from Nana’s phone – somewhere – probably an ‘invisible’ mode she had so they couldn’t see or hear anything – and vice versa. She just wanted to be alone right now. Privacy was nice sometimes.
