Chapter 203: Let's Go Home

[T/W: Child Abuse, Gore]

Unit 155455.

I didn't know if there was an operator behind it or if the robot worked on artificial intelligence. I never could quite tell. Even if I went up to check now, this place was just my illusion, my memories. What I didn't know wouldn't come true, and even if it was wrong, what I did know wouldn't change.

I had spent the last twenty years just around like this, but how much time had actually passed was something I wasn't aware of.

Slowly, I followed behind the small service robot carrying along the smaller child in its claws as the destruction of the facility behind me continued. Like falling dominoes, the place started to collapse onto itself.

Even though my own steps were short and slow, in almost no time at all, I managed to keep up with the robot that dragged Apate through the mountain path under which the facility resided.
