KK hugged his knees, buried his head between them, and said in a low voice, "You're right, big brother hasn't disliked me. But I feel... people always need to have some self-awareness."
"I'm very grateful that big brother pulled me out of the mire on the frontier, and I regard him as my benefactor. Since he's my benefactor, I should find a way to repay him."
"But now the situation is, not only can I not repay him, I eat his food every day, use his things, like a parasite."
His gaze became blurred, and he murmured softly, "So I think, since I can't provide any value, the only way to repay him is to leave voluntarily. This way, big brother won't be dragged down by me in anything..."
"Beep—beep—" At this moment, Future's phone alarm sounded.
She shook her head and said, "Ah, it's time, the data has almost finished running."
KK nodded: "Mm, you go ahead, don't delay the experiment."
Future walked to the door and stopped there.
"KK." Her voice came.
"Hm?" KK looked over.
