Memories of an Automaton/Story

Just Regina
Regina standing next to the white haired, aged, bedridden Cana.

Regina
 * Master, I have prepared your lunch. Are you hungry?

Cana
 * That's so kind of you... Thank you, Regina. You've taken such a good care of me.

Regina
 * I am only fulfilling my purpose, Master. There is no need to thank me.

Cana
 * That deserves thanks all the same. All favors do.

Regina
 * I will keep that in mind.

Cana
 * Remind me, Regina, how long has it been since you were made?

Regina
 * I was first activated 50 years ago.

Cana
 * Ah, yes. We've been through so much. I remember when it all began... It was all I could do just to keep you online.

Regina
 * Your improvements have kept my energy consumption to a bare minimum outside of intense combat situations.

Cana
 * I'm glad to hear that, truely. I don't have any more magic left for ou outside of your current reserve.

Cana "..."
 * I remember when I first made you. I said your purpose was like flower pressing.
 * But now that I think about it, that wasn't the best comparison.

Regina
 * Do you mean my purpose has changed? Will I no longer be a record of humanity?

Cana
 * That's right... You'll have a new purpose.
 * From now on... I just want you to live... I just want you to keep being Regina...

Regina
 * An automation does not live like a human.
 * And if living in this case simply means to be in operation, then is this purpose not already fulfilled?
 * In any case, I feel it is unsuitable for me.

Cana "..."

Cana
 * Well, how can I put this... Even if your purpose is fulfilled, you can simply move on.
 * There is so much you can do, so much knowledge you can draw from. I made you this way for a reason.
 * But I cannot do any more for you than that.
 * How you live your life from here on... that's for you to decide.
 * Have a good life, Regina, even after I'm gone.

Regina
 * Master, I'm afraid I don't know the proper means to achieve a good life.

Cana
 * Heh... I wonder...

For the Master
Regina
 * How do I approach this change in objective?
 * Master is growing old, Is she losing her ability to give proper commands?
 * An herb that improves cognition might just work.
 * An herb that improves cognition might just work.

Good for Digestion
Regina
 * Master's appetite is waning, and she tends to eat less red meat in particular.
 * Fish may be more to her liking.

Gain Stamina
Regina
 * Yes, more fish might be the answer.
 * I'll see if that improves her condition.
 * And then I can confirm with her my next objective.

Moment of Parting
Regina
 * Master...

....
 * Master...?

Regina walks over and kneel near the bed.

Regina
 * You're not breathing... and your body temperature is falling...
 * Master... have you died?

This Beast is a Burden
Boss fight

Regina
 * Hostiles near the destination... Activating combat mode.
 * Hostiles near the destination... Activating combat mode.

Grand Design
Regina puts flower upon the grave near the lake.

Regina
 * Human custom dictates that I should bury you in this way.
 * I learned this from the knowledge you installed in me.

Regina
 * Based on our experience, I determined this location to be the most appealing for you.
 * I hope it will make for a suitable grave.

Regina
 * Master... I've thought about your final command... I don't think it is within my capacity...
 * I understand that my purpose is to live on... but I don't know what I should do to fulfill this.
 * And now that you have died, I have no way to consult you.
 * But I think I finally understand what you meant all those years ago, when you likened my role to flower pressing.
 * But I think I finally understand what you meant all those years ago, when you likened my role to flower pressing.

Regina
 * I think I should preserve myself... like a pressed flower, until one day my services are needed again.

Regina
 * That was, after all, my original purpose.

Regina slowly walks away.
