The story takes place 3 years after the drama, and with new technology, Dr Kamiya is able to repair Night's main chip and restore him. However, he does not remember anything from 3 years ago (though somehow he was able to replicate the omelette rice :) ). His memory returnes when he and Riiko are falling down a building and he manages to save her. After his ego is awakened, Dr Kamiya transfers his data to Nagase the robot, who looks exactly like her dead lover. With self-awareness, the robot can now fulfil Nagase's dreams...
Read here for a complete summary for the SP.
Kamiya: I don’t need you anymore. Go somewhere. (passes chip to Night) You should live how you want too.
Nagase: Jun’s dream is coming true. He is not even bitter towards you, and he has no regrets. Because in your heart, he continues to live on being cherished and loved by you. From the start, it was unnecessary for you to create me. I am a robot. No matter how self-aware I become, I will never be Nagase Jun. I can’t become your beloved Nanase Jun. Also, we can’t grow old together, and we can’t build a family either. As you grow old, you’ll eventually die. But I will be like this forever, without any change. I am a robot that won’t die. I am a robot who was built to just love you. Even if you’re no longer alive, I must still continue to love you. (Current surges through his eyes)
Kamiya: Don’t talk anymore. Your chip is burning up.
Nagase: It’s fine. My duty has been served. A robot’s duty only goes this far. From now on, don’t look back, and please go on living.
Kamiya: No, don’t die!
Nagase: Don’t cry. I-I am… just… a robot… (he shuts down)
Night: Why…am I a robot?
Namakiri: 01, it’s a fact that you’re a robot. But you are more human than any person because you have a warm heart. That’s why, you can seriously love someone, right?
Night: Can I…make a family? I can’t grow old. Even now, I will continue to love Riiko without ever changing. I’m the only one who won’t change. I am a robot, but above all else, I cannot live a life with Riiko. Namakiri-san, please… erase me from this world.
Namakiri: What did you say?
Night: Please…scrap me completely.
Namakiri: What are you saying…There’s no way I can do that!
Night: I am a robot. I was created in order to love Riiko as a robot. It’s painful loving Riiko. (unclenches fist to reveal his chip) Please destroy me.
Namakiri: Are you sure about this?
Night: Yes. This is for Riiko’s happiness.
(Riiko enters. Namakiri takes chip from Night)
Namakiri: Go… Ideal boyfriend.
Night: Riiko, I’m sorry. I can’t be by your side anymore.
Riiko: So, you won’t cook for me anymore?
Night: Yes.
Riiko: And you won’t take me home anymore?
Night: Yes.
Riiko: And you can’t protect me anymore.
Night: I’m sorry.
Riiko: I’ll be fine. I’ll be fine even if you’re not here.
Night: I love you, Riiko.
Riiko: You were programmed to say that, right?
Night: (smiles sadly) Yes. That’s right. No matter what, I will always be on your side.
Riiko: Because you were programmed to. (gives four-leaved clover to Night)
Night: Thank you. Goodbye.
Night gets up and walks away. Riiko watches and chases after him.
Riiko: Night!
She kisses him. Night smiles, turns Riiko around and pushes her away gently. She walks away in tears.
Riiko: Goodbye…Night.
Night watches as Riiko walks away from him. He brings his finger to his eye and realizes that he is crying…
The final scene of Night T_TOh man, this is really sad. I mean, in the drama he was turned off but at least his body was still in that box in Kronos Heavens, but now he’s going to be scrapped. He’s going to disappear completely from this earth. Xiao Wei had said this is going to be even sadder than the drama, so this is what she means. It's final.
This love was never meant to be, never supposed to exist. He can’t grow old with Riiko. They will never be able to have a normal life together, yet he cannot live without her. I suppose he realizes he’s going to be a burden to Riiko, that he’s going to prevent her from leading a normal life. (Why does this sound soooo much like Mediator? Except that one has a good ending.)
Isn’t it cruel to create a robot with self-awareness only for it to realize it can never love like a normal person?
That’s why artificial intelligence should never be allowed.
It's fiction, tky!!! Snap out of it!
Argh it’s so sad…
Yes, it is very sad indeed (T_T) and you reminded me of the SP all over again (T_T). But at least there is a closure, right? :)
ReplyDelete(And I keep seeing my name on your blog...feels so weird to read what I told u :P)
haha..thanks for commenting :)
ReplyDeleteyah, it's indeed a closure. really final, there's no way they can continue the story after how they've ended it.
Ahh...it's good that way. If they intend to continue, kettai kareshi may end up becoming terrible, and I personally wouldn't want that to happen ^_^
