Kokoro

The begining of Kokoro

I opened my eyes into a new world. Where was I? What was I? Who am I? All those questions exploded in my brain. "Rin...Rin! It's really you!" A man in front of me hugged me tightly. Who was he? What was going on?

"Who...am...I?" I finally was able to say. The guy who looked like a scientist seemed like he had a thing called tears in his eyes. But also a thing called a smile on his face. I don't understand those things."You are my daughter!" He said. "Daughter?" I was curious on why I was made.

"Not my real one though. You are just a robot...My real daughter died of an illness. But I created you so you can take her place! I know it isn't the right thing to do but I couldn't help missing my daughter so dearly." He explained to me. I didn't understand half of the things he were saying.

"Why would you miss someone. Why would it be the wrong thing to do? I don't understand these feelings." I finally told him. His eyes widened. "What? What do you mean?" He questioned me.

"None of this makes sense. Why would you feel bad for missing someone. I don't get the point of that feeling. Actually I can't feel it at all." When I told him the truth, he went straight for his computer.

"Damn! The kokoro(heart) isn't there." He kept typing on the computer and I went up behind him. Why did he look so concerned? After a while he banged on the keyboard. I can't get it... It's going to take longer than I expected.

"What do you mean, professor?" I asked him deciding to call him that. He looked at me with wetness in his eyes. "Call me papa. Also I mean... You have no feelings at all... And it's going to take a while until you do."

I tilted my head. It wasn't like feelings mattered, right?
