Program: Kokoro

Chapter 6
Kiseki

In that day and at that time...

KOKORO was in the memories all along...

These feelings that overflow out of my heart... I will send them to you.

Message-

From: Rin

To: Rin

Subject: KOKORO

The feelings that built up inside Rin was slowly pouring itself out. From being unspoken, to song. Professor, I finally see what you mean when you said a miracle would happen. When I received this message back then...

I dedicate my words to you...

((Thank you so much... Thank you so much...))

Thank you for everything...

((Thank you so much... Thank you so much...))

For bringing me into this world...

((Thank you so much... Thank you so much...))

For all the days that we spent together...

((Thank you so much...)) Thank you so much...))

For everything you gave to me...

Back in the past, Rin was given a message.

"A message is..being received..." she said. Len, surprised, turned to her.

"From who?" he questioned.

"The source is...from the future."

The future?

"KOKORO received," Rin announced. "Download starting."

The program did reach back to us, Len thought. Quickly, the room began to be filled with the song of the future. Rin's voice, now full of emotion, resounded in the walls. Her song reached his heart, and his eyes were full of tears.

"Now I can speak...all of these true words..."

"I will sing forever..."

The First Miracle was that you were born.

The Second Miracle was the time we spent together.

The Third Miracle, no, not yet...

The Third Miracle has not occurred yet...

Rin's lips curled into a soft smile. All the memories collected from many years ago strung themselves in an ever-lasting loop of memories, playing on and on. The message had been sent, and it had been received. Now, the miracle wouldn't be wasted. She and Professor...no. She and Len, they would finally be able to communicate with their hearts. He would finally see this miracle in his lifetime.

I will sing forever—

"Ah..."

A small pang struck in Rin's heart. In her eyes, darkness was slowly taking over her vision. The gears inside her slowly started to halt. The system would soon shut down. The Miracle is ending...

She fell, knowing that this was truly the end. But, even as her power gave out, she could have sworn that she saw someone was holding onto her hand. Soft, warm, loving. Rin slowly lifted her head.

The face of Professor Len smiled. Her creator. Her friend. And his expression told her that everything, everything would be fine.

It was exactly a Miracle.

The robot that contained KOKORO sang all of her feelings.

But...the miracle lasted only a moment.

As Len had said, the program was too much for her. Her system could not withstand the weight, thus, the machine shorted, and was never to move again...

But, she had a smile on her face.

Honestly, she looked like an angel.

"Thank you...Father..."
