May 23rd 4:00 AM, Oda Residence, Shibuya City, Temperature: 34 degrees Fahrenheit/ 1.1 degree Celsius

Shinya Oda, Agent 6, the King of Gigolo Arcade games in Akihabara and the tech prodigy of METAS' Navi duo, was stepped right out of bed after a good long yawn. He was not known for getting right up out of bed and doing stuff right away. In fact he was the type of kid that would take a long time getting to the shower and then to the kitchen where his mom would already have his breakfast on the table and lecture him about the consequences of being late for school.

Every time, he points out that detail of information internally, it's reminded of the memories he and his mother had...such normal memories...until the mental breakdown incident happened...so much blood, so much guns, so much explosion, so much screaming...so...much...hatred...

The black haired boy felt sick to his stomach just reliving that portion of the memories.

Now was not the time to traverse down memory pain. Now is the time to get down to business...to end this snow job.

He looked across his room where his own mother was... sleeping on a soft mattress atop of a metallic bed with lines and tubes connected to her body.

Shinya: Morning, Mom. I promise I'll make you some breakfast...right after I shower and get changed.

And so he did, he showered and put on some clothes, specifically a grey sweater, baggy pants, and a thin black jacket.

He flipped and stirred the light fluffy yellow object that was an omelette.

He took a sip of the broth for the miso soup to make sure it tasted good only to find out it was too good.

And He scooped a handful of rice with a giant paddle like spoon and poured it onto a small blue bowl.

Once he was done cooking the three dishes, he placed them all on a giant grey tray and slowly yet surely trekked up the stairs.

After successfully making it to his room, he continued to slowly carry the tray towards a metallic box with wires that connected to a metallic wheel like structure.

He placed the dishes inside the metallic box and presses a red button, causing the food to turn into glowing light and disappear.

The light that was previously food traversed through the cords connected to the wheel and finally to the tubes connected to his mother.

Shinya grabbed his iPad and pulled up a program where it feature what appeared to be the insides of the human body. A small white colored orb was seen sliding down from the mouth then through the esophagus and all the way through the intestines.

Then a huge green checkmark the appeared on the screen.

Shinya: Good. She fully digested the food. The last I need is to do full surgery...(looks at the air conditioning vent blowing on the tiny yellow streams of paper)...given our current circumstances.

-----------------

The boy walked down the stairs, opened the fridge to pull out some bread, placed the bread inside the toaster, put his coffee k-cup inside the Keurig and began to pour coffee in his cup.

After he placed his small breakfast on that the table, he began to take a sip of his coffee and eat his toast while looking at his iPad.

As this happens, he muses over something.

What was he supposed to do again exactly...it involved machines, but he was already involved with machines already...wait, what was it Sae said?

"Make sure you melt the snow with the chemicals in your drone."
