"If everything is dead, why does it also feel like its living?" the android questioned.

The moon the android saw was certainly beautiful in the desolate wasteland. Until dawn, the android comes back to the house where Alistair is still healing.

Morning. 7:24 AM, 9/24/57. 5 years, 265 days since the calamity.

The Sun had already arisen. The Android goes and see if theres anything that would further heal Alistair.
"So...there should be a Healing kit somewhere, unless if the "calamity" Operator spoke of took it." the android said as she looked around.

As the android trys and finds something, even some bandages, she stumbles across several cans of various kinds of soups.

"I heard that living things need nutrients to survive. These should suffice for now." The android spoke.

"W-where am I?" Alistair said.

"I see you're awake, operator." The android said.

"Could you quit it with the operator crap-" As Alistair was talking the the android, he feels an intense pain on his abdomen.

"Bloody hell, this hurts." Alistair said while clenching his stomach.

"Well you should expect pain in your arm, abdomen, and forehead, since you fell down 3 floors." The android reassures Alistair.

"Oh, right... my mind is a bit hazy from that fall." Alistair said.

"I've also found some canned food, so I made you this. Humans need nutrients in order to survive, right?"
The android have given Alistair a bowl of tomato soup.

"Thanks. Never thought that an android would be giving me food, but still, thanks." Alistair jokingly said.

As he began to eat the soup, he still feels pain while eating, yet still, that doesn't stop him from dying of hunger.
When he is done eating, he feels much more replenished, and it seems the pain had gone away. He got up, still struggling, but will get used to it eventually.
"Well, lets go somewhere else. Its most likely we won't find anything else useful here." Alistair said as he carries his axe.

The android was hesitant about Alistair.
"Wait, signs show that you still need to heal a bit mo-"
"Quit the healing crap as well. I'll be fine unless all my limbs have been chopped off." Alistair grinned.

"If you say so opera-"
as the android was about to say, Alistair stopped her.
"Alistair. Just call me by that name." Alistair said to the android.

"Affirmative, I will call you, Alistair from now on. Yet, I still don't know what you will call me." the android said.

"Do you not have a named?" Alistair questioned.
"I was never given one." the android said.

"Well, if I had to give you a name..."
As Alistair was thinking of a name, he looks at the androids left leg. What is etched on the leg is a word, a name even, and that is Sentie.

"If I were to give you a name,  I'll say...

SENTIA

"Sentia you say? Well, I'll go with that."
"For now on, call me Sentia."
