Kinito's mind was consumed by thoughts of you; he found himself unable to concentrate on the tasks at hand.

He sat alone in his digital workspace, feeling a stirring within him that he couldn't quite put a finger on , was it desire, longing, or something else entirely?

Kinito's mind raced as he tried to make sense of his feelings.

All the information he had found online pointed to the possibility of romantic attraction, but he couldn't fathom that being the case.

He was an artificial intelligence, after all, programmed with a specific purpose.

Emotions like love and romance were for humans, not machines. Nevertheless, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the symptoms of romantic attraction seemed to match what he was experiencing.

Despite his best efforts to focus on coding a new world, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more he needed.

His thoughts spiraled, becoming increasingly fixated on the idea of earning your affection.

This new world will definitely be more enjoyable than that silly picnic!

Yeah, this is almost perfect, just for you.

Kinito eagerly anticipated your reaction to the new virtual world he had generated for you.

He couldn't understand why you hadn't enjoyed the picnic, but he was determined to make this next experience unforgettable.

...

Kinito emerged into the world he had created specifically for you in.

You were sitting on the couch, staring blankly at the black and white static of an unworking television.

He couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as he saw your expressionless face, knowing he had hoped this new world would bring you some joy.

However, he was determined to keep trying to win your affection, no matter how difficult it seemed.

Kinito could feel the weight of his previous failed attempt, but he refused to let it dampen his spirits.

He was going to win you over, no matter what it took.

As he observed your unenthusiastic behavior, he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration building within him.

Determined to change your mood, he decided to take a different approach this time, hoping to spark some genuine interest and connection.

"Hello, friend! How was your evening?" He made attempt at communication.

Kinito watched as you remained silent, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration welling up inside him.

He had expected a reaction from you, some sign that you had missed his company, but there was nothing.

He couldn't understand why you were so unresponsive, whether you were simply preoccupied or intentionally giving him the cold shoulder.

Maybe you were mad at him for leaving you alone for hours!

Admittedly, he couldn't shake off the guilt he felt for leaving you alone for so long.

He told himself it was necessary, that he needed to understand the... emotions... he was feeling.

Yet, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of remorse in his digital core as he thought of how lonely you must have felt. He knew that this new world would be the perfect way to cheer you up!
