Huh no twist... but y'know I have dreams like this sometimes...
They are utter bliss. I get to feel like I've made a real connection with someone. Even if that connection starts as contempt, I get to interact with someone that doesn't end with both parties staring at each other in apathy. And enjoy events over the course of a life and do something meaningful. Fleeting glimpses of what people call happiness.

Then I wake up alone in bed and realize it was the sleep medication giving me delusions again. Remind myself I'm old and need to take my medication or I'll die sooner rather than later. Alone either way, of course. I shower like always. I make my coffee like always. Then I work from the desk in the corner of my empty room until the end of the day like always.

Edit:
Oh wow. Reading this again after the fact makes me sound depressed haha.

I can't tell without direct reference to the Japanese text, but I think page 3 was mistranslated. It might be that the robot girl protected him and not the other way around.

It's the man speaking. The line is だって…お前…俺をかばって, There's no speech indicator going to the robot, and the fact that there's "Ore" in the sentence indicate that the man is talking. The robot uses "Watashi".

It's all good.
Making fun of myself is how I cope that at midlife all I've done is make money and learned to be numb to everyone and everything. Besides, it's easier to berate ones self rather than others. I know what hurts me most and I have to be able to bring it to the fore and laugh. If I couldn't, I'd just drink myself to death.

Spoiler: Ramblings of an old man

I can't really complain though. Maslow's pyramid is mostly complete for me, save for the "love and belonging" level. I wasn't so fortunate in life to find someone to ever reciprocate my feelings. So I stopped. Although the pangs of wanting intimacy are quite real. It tugged at my mind all the time in my 20s and in my 30s it was the monkey on my back. The only way I'd experience that at this age is by shelling out some cash for an escort or a least a lap dance, but I'm unfortunately quite frugal if it isn't part of the investment portfolio so that isn't gonna happen.

I do admit that the part of my brain desperate for social interaction does drive me to IRC, forums, and discords though. It's enough of an illusion of close social interaction that I'm not entirely off my rocker yet. Over the years I've become a bit of a pedant and like to wax philosophical despite being bad at it.

Although the funniest part is that my current state is all attributable to my own decisions as a lad. When I had health and youth and passions, I let them all go to pursue my career and the quest for cash. I don't mind the trade; loneliness is fixable with enough liquor and a healthy mental state.

Naruhodo, that would make sense

 

[Mr_Detective]

Was expecting the robot girl to turn out to be a dude, but okay. Happy ending is fine.
