{TEXTJOIN#24}, were you the one who found all the cycranes?
Player
Player
That's me. I'm the one
NPC
NPC
I'm the one who implemented the sentience program in the cycranes
NPC
NPC
I received a parcel. The sender is... probably you. But from the content of the mail, it might be written by Heron Express themselves
NPC
NPC
Sorry for causing trouble
Player
Player
Why did you make the cycranes sentient?
NPC
NPC
You ask me why I make the cycranes sentient... maybe you focused on the wrong thing
NPC
NPC
I have been a homebody for centuries and haven't talked face-to-face with anyone the entire time
NPC
NPC
I thought it's too hard to talk to people, but I keep seeing these cycranes daily
NPC
NPC
So I thought, maybe I can start talking to these cycranes, and move on to talking with people in the future
Player
Player
So the sentience is not the point. The point is to have a conversation
NPC
NPC
That's right. Having sentient cycranes with different personalities is all to mimic real-life conversations
NPC
NPC
I can do my job online, receive my salary online, and there are parcel and food delivery services. I just have to take out the trash regularly, and I don't even need to meet anybody
NPC
NPC
Honestly, not having to meet anybody makes me feel safe
Player
Player
So, are you still unable to meet people face-to-face or go outside?
NPC
NPC
Yes
NPC
NPC
I thought I could talk to cycranes, but I guess I overestimated myself. I'm too nervous
NPC
NPC
...I've had some really traumatic experiences in the past. It's just too much for me
NPC
NPC
But it's not like I'm trying to swear off communication altogether. My texts are pretty normal, isn't it
NPC
NPC
Hahahaha
NPC
NPC
Sorry, this might not be funny
Player
Player
Everyone has their own challenges to overcome. Even if you can't leave your home right now, you can still live the best you can
NPC
NPC
Thank you, I will do my best
NPC
NPC
I'm setting a goal. I will strive to "speak with cycranes"
NPC
NPC
I may need some more time. Maybe I will finally be able to head out in a few centuries?
NPC
NPC
I will apologize to Heron Express
NPC
NPC
Also, I've sent you some gifts. I didn't know your address, so I sent them all to Ziqiao
NPC
NPC
Thank you
