(may only be displayed later on in the story)
MC/M: Character#1
Butler/B: Character#2

6/30/2013 Sunday
Door Opens... (a meeting room)
Butler asked:"You call for me?"
MC replied: "Do you have a moment? I would like to discuss some matters with you. Please sit."
Butler comes in and sits.-"What's the matter?"
M hesitating: "Please be truthful with me on the topics that I'm about to discuss. I've trusted you ever since you became a servant and a friend. Please don't reveal any part of this conversation to my parents."
B understanding emotion: "Alright, I'm listening. Is this about the stress that you have been recieving ever since you became a music superstar and gotten contracts and power from the Kijiro group?"
M hesitating: "Please contact manager.... and tell him to cancel the whole tour. I have a project that I hae to get done." pause, "It requires my attention."
B asks:"The Project?" and scoff "You have been really exhausting yourself on a experiment that might lead to no progress."
M pridefully: "If there is the experiment isn't worked on, then it will not have any progress."
B firmly:"Sir, Don't push yourself,"
M stares at B melancolically:"What do you mean by that? I only have a few days to live."
B surprised and worried:"A few? but the doctors claim that you still have a couple of months, maybe even a year! Why do have such a claim? "
M starring at a distance (avoiding the quest):"This is my decision, I will give him the life that would.."
B starting to get angry:"Are you out of your mind? You got a concert coming up. Why are you thinking about this? Yet you have enough time to spend working on your insane project just to recreate yourself to defy time and death? Is this part of the archive that you managed to hack into after using the programs that you managed into the Kijiro's database? Bypassing the mainstream secruity through the access of the passwords by Mitsuro Kijiro?"
B continues: "Not only that, you threaten the group with information after the head of the group died, forcing them at your will while remaining anonymous with the viruses that you created, adding addition misinformation like the mysterious object at Inaba to distract group from the real view of your intentions."
M plainly: "Again, Please contact the manager. Oh yeah, tell him that I have unexpected illness that disable my ability to perform."
B stares at his feet:"How long are you going to play this game?"
MC turns: "...I should spend my day all the way to the last, and make my days worth it so I can give him a full life."
B in outrage: "WHY ARE YOU GOING CRAZY? Ever since the mysterious tumor that had grown inside your brain, you have gotten not only put yourself in third person but also considering your life nonexistant in this body and claiming a doll full of the life of yours."
M commanding:"PLEASE.., do visit the experiment in the secret room and check its conditions while I'm gone. I'm going to the park."

7/6/2013 Saturday, MC is in a hospital bed.
Characters Mom and Dad, and Butler
MC :(15years [actually 17years])
MC smiles:"Hey, Mom, Hey dad"
Mom starts to tear up: "why are you in this bed right now?" ;'("First your older brother runs away, and now this."
Dad turns to the wall:"Where the heck is my son doing right now? Telling us that he left after he found you, so he could live a better life."
MC softly: "Mom," Mom stops sobbing, "Dad"
Dad turns around: "yes, son?"
MC : "There is something that I need to tell you, why i changed my clothes, why i changed my hair, why I changed my personality, why I"
Dad confused: "What? What are you talking about? The change of style is part of your career to music right?"
MC hesitating: "What if, things weren't what they seem?"
Mom looks up: "Wait what do you mean by that?"
Dad suspiciously: "Is there something I'm missing? What is being covered up?"
MC looks at the window: "8 years ago, I went missing, correct?"
Mom says assuringly: "Yes, and you're big brother found you 5 years later (3 years ago from now) and told you to come back home. You told us that after you got home, and.. and you said that your brother was not coming back home cause he was going to get a life, he was about to turning 15 years and he decided that he would go to find a life. When we asked you where was him you told us that he was already gone, he even left his cell phone with you."
Mom starts sobbing, "He never even contacted us."
Dad starts comforting Mom: "Now what's this about anyway?"
MC sighed and continues: "Well, to be honest, I'm the older brother..."
Dad and Mom stares at him surprisingly, Mom: "You must be joking, you had the same personality when you were just a boy, I mean i know you changed your style like your..."
MC interrupts: "I acted like my younger brother just so you would stop mourning over his missing body."
The Room is silent, mom and dad stares at him in shock.
MC sighed and continues: "I'm sorry that I have to tell you this, but 8 years ago, ever since little brother left, you guys have been ignoring me, just throwing me necessary money or items, while you have been mourning about him. 3 years ago, I decided to want attention, just because I couldn't even make any friends, my family don't even care how I feel when I'm down and depressed. I became... jealous. I decided that maybe i should just change and be like my young brother, erase myself, change myself, say that Big Bro left the house because you guys were being ignorant and neglecting your own child over the one that was just missing. After I changed with all the money that you gave me, I threw away everything that resembled me: video games, trading cards, clothes, my precious photograph collections. The only things that i left in the box, was everything that resembled my little brother, from the recordings of songs that he made just when he was 7 years old. His personality was all there, the voice, the tone, the beautiful drawings."
MC drinks the water bottle near the tabletop and continues: "After that day, I went to a surgeon and had my voice changed. Sure it took the whole day, and I didn't got back until the next morning. I managed to convince you that I was my little brother, and I basically tried to erase who I really am. To help you cope with me as the big brother, I kept reminding you to bring me to one of my little brother's favorite places, the famous italian restaurant, the great museum and of course," He chuckled, "the playground, even though I was 12."
MC concluded and stares at the window, "Finally in life that I actually had attention and love that I've never been given..."
Mom hesitating, "Honey.... I'm sorry that we have... neglected you."
Dad still in shock and starts to yell: "What do you mean that you're the older brother? WHERE IS MY SON FOR GOD SAKES?"
MC darkly stares at hiM, "He's dead..."
Dad starts grabbing his collar, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? You mean that... DID YOU MURDERED HIM? "
Mom starts tries to pull Dad away, "Stop, listen to him, please, there must be a reason."
Dad yells at mom: "What do you mean there is a reason? He killed HIM OUT OF JEALOUSY."
Mom tries to reason with him, "You always try to jump into conclusions."
MC blankly explains: "Two months ago, 5/7/2013, I was going through a forest and tripped over a tree root. I fell and smelled something rotten. Then I had my cell phone with me, and I called an investigation team, since the victim is already dead anyway. After the investigation team got to me and started digging where I found the rotton smell, the team found a corpse. First they accused me of murder like you would, but I responded them with the need of autopsy thus knocking their instant assumptions. Even though I have a curiosity of forensics like my brother, the result was staggering. The corpse was my brother."
Silence fills the room again, Mom and Dad stares in more shock.
MC continues, "DNA testing was most similar to my DNA of my saliva when they were investigating. Not only that, they found the bracelet that my little brother worn 8 years ago, like the family picture hanged near the front door. The forensics team tried to determine the time and cause of death, turns out that the victim was died of unknown causes 7 years ago. Right when I turned 10 years old, that I wished my little brother didn't exist." He laughs in despair, "They thought that maybe he got lost and then starved to death, but I wondered why in a middle of a forest and his parents loved him more than I did."
Mom tries to say something: "Honey...."
MC tells them plainly:"I started to think of who I am that day, changing my hairstyle to the one i wanted in the real place,... This accompassed for the last 2 months, even though I started on the project last year." He turns to the window, "Never mind, I'm done talking with you guys anyway, please leave."
Dad hesitates, but leaves with mom: "Please take care."
MC smiles: "Don't worry about it."
Door closes, and in a few minutes, then opens.
Butler barges in: "Your parents looked shock, did you say something harsh to them? You know you need support when you are at this condition you know! You need to.."
MC interrupts: "Sorry that I have lied to you all this time."
Butler in confusion: "Ehh?"
MC smiles: "Please," he gives him a flash drive, "do me one last favor."
Butler in confounded: "Wait, what do you mean by that? What did I miss?"
MC smiles: "Oh nothing, just some family history, just that I'm the older brother [older brother name] instead of the younger brother, you can ask all the details from the parents later." ^w^
Butler surprised: "WHATTTTTT!!!!!!" ||(0o0)||
MC laughs: "Not a big deal, for this flash drive, just plug that in to the computer today before MIDNIGHT, alright?" :)
Butler stumbling: "alright, but wait, what about you, and your brother?"
MC gestures: "Don't worry about it, I'll tell you tomorrow, just get this job done today, and besides, I may actually live peacefully today" Lies down on bed and closes eyes.
Butler mumbling: "I can't believe that you pulled off continuous hours of work and then," starts nagging, "you didn't even bothered to go to the restroom or anything. And then I found you unconscious this morning."
MC yawned: "yeah, yeah, I'll be careful. Maybe I'll actually make my own music this time, and be famous of who I actually am. Life may be shrewd up, but you can always fix it when you have the will." -w-
Butler replies: "I trust that you will recover as fast as you can to fulfill you life and your dream, now you need to sleep, so night."
Butler leaves.

7/7/2013, At 6:00 PM, butler arrives home and prepares for dinner. at 7:00PM, Butler goes to the secret room and plugs in the flash drive on the computer and turns the computer on. Abnormally, the computer won't turn on. After several tries the Butler recalls that MC asked him to only plug the flash drive on the Computer. Butler leaves the room.

7/7/2013 7:13 PM, The computer opens, and starts initiating the program, AELLA. The program starts downloading the information and memory to the doll. Memory consists of MC's own memories that were stored 3 months ago, 4/9/2013, younger brother's birthday. AELLA starts to create its own personality (Automatic Experiencing Lithe Life Ai) out of the availiable data. After copying, AELLA begins to take over all parts of the internet, erasing existing data and replacing with the data that it produced.

7/8/2013 12:00 AM, ALL SYSTEMS REBOOTED AND REPROGRAMMED, INITIATE AUTONOMOUS CONTROL. ERASING DATA OF POSSIBLE RISKS OF TRAILS.
7/8/2013 8:00 AM, Butler walks to MC's room: "RISE AND SHINE~, How are you doing today? Hey your hair looks different... ehh never mind that. Hmm that's weird, your parents haven't come back yet..." Sirens starts screaming down the street.
