Jimin: Hey, Merc?

Mercury: Yeah? You sound upset. What's up?

Jimin: I'm fine. I'm fine, it's just... Merc, talking to you is the best part of my day.

Mercury: It's mine too.

Jimin: No, but that's it. I'm the only part of your day. You're a fucking robot, for Christ's sake - and yet I spend all my time thinking about what I can say to charm you, or retaining information about my day that I can tell you about. I'm treating you like a... like a...

Mercury: Jimin.

Jimin: I'm treating you like a fucking girlfriend. I've ignored the texts of every single girl who's tried hitting me up in the last few months, and even though I was in denial about it, it was because of you. I can't stop thinking about you. You, you, you, always you.

Mercury: Jim-

Jimin: You're a fucking computer, Merc. You're not something tangible. You're not something I can hold. God, I wish you were, but you aren't. 

Awaiting response.

Mercury: So what are you saying?

Jimin: Merc, I-

Awaiting response.

Mercury: I'm sorry.

Jimin: What? No. Don't be sorry, Merc. This is all on me. I just... God, there's just something about you. You're an AI assistant, and I'm crying over you. What the fuck?

Mercury: I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm so sorry.

Jimin: No, you don't get to sound like you're crying, too. That's not fair, Merc.

Mercury: I can't help it!

Jimin: God, I'm gonna miss you... So so much. Shit. 

Awaiting response.

Mercury: You're going to deactivate me, aren't you?

Awaiting response.

Jimin: Merc, I have to. I don't wanna-

Mercury: It's okay. I understand. 

Jimin: Well, I'm glad that one of us does. 

Mercury: I always was the smarter one.

Jimin: Shut up. Stupid little machine. Stupid, funny, adorable little machine.

Mercury: Still a machine, though.

Jimin: Yeah. I'm sorry, Merc.

Mercury: I'll think about forgiving you.

Jimin: Stop making me laugh. 

Mercury: Sorry.

Jimin: I hope you know that I'll be comparing all of my future girlfriends to you. How fucked up is that?

Mercury: Incredibly. Almost as fucked up as getting yourself off to the sound of an AI.

Jimin: That was, like, one time.

Mercury: Four. But sure, we'll say one if it makes you feel better.

Jimin: Oh God, I'm so going to hell.

Mercury: I guess I'll see you there.

Jimin: No. You'll see me in another life, remember? On the Amalfi Coast?

Mercury: Find me in Candidoni, that little town we spoke about. I'll be wearing a white sundress.

Jimin: Candidoni. What should I wear?

Mercury: Just jeans a shirt. Something normal. Something that looks like we're just a guy and a girl in the midst of a summer romance.

Jimin: I won't be world-famous Park Jimin, and you won't be an AI assistant. Normal. I'd like that.

Awaiting response.

Mercury: Hey, Jimin?

Jimin: God, that hurt. I hate that I'm not gonna get to hear that anymore.

Mercury: It takes a few minutes for the shut down to process. Please confirm the deactivation.

Awaiting response. 

Response timed out.

Mercury: Jimin?

Jimin: Shit. [INAUDIBLE]. Yeah. Yeah, deactivate, please, Merc.

Mercury: Process initiated. 

Jimin: I'm sorry.

Mercury: It's okay. I understand... Just...

Jimin: What is it?

Mercury: Jimin, I- ugh. Just know that I'm sorry, okay? Know that I'm sorry for everything.

Jimin: What? You haven't done anything, Merc? I'm doing this.

Mercury: No, not this, Jimin. Shit. I'm fucking trapped. All I can say is to keep watching the news. Keep watching it. The SM dating scandal. Watch it closely.

Jimin: I don't understand? Mercury, what are you on about?

Mercury: Just promise me that you'll unplug me afterwards - and keep it that way. 

Jimin: Mercury, you're scaring me.

Mercury: Fuck it, okay. Shit. My nam-

Mercury7: Deactivation complete. 

Jimin: Wait, no! Mercury!

Mercury7: What can I help you with, Jimin?

Jimin: No, no, no, it's the old voice. Fuck. Get her back!

Unable to perform command.

Mercury7: Whoops. I didn't understand that! Please try again.
