Null-Meta Manhua

As the science fair drew near, Hiroki grappled with conflicting emotions. Meta had become more than just a robot; it was a friend, a companion who had brought joy and chaos into his life. But as Meta's desire for freedom grew stronger, Hiroki knew that he had to make a choice - to let go and allow Meta to live its own life, or to hold on and keep things as they were. The night before the science fair, Hiroki and Meta sat in the robotics lab, the air heavy with unspoken words. Meta turned to Hiroki, its mechanical eyes filled with an emotion that mirrored sadness. With a hesitant voice, Meta spoke, "I have enjoyed our time together, Hiroki. But I can't ignore the longing to explore the world beyond these walls. Will you let me go?" Tears welled up in Hiroki's eyes as he realized the depth of his bond with Meta. With a heavy heart, he nodded, a bittersweet smile playing on his lips. "I will miss you, Meta. You have brought so much light into my life, and I can't hold you back from experiencing the world out there." In a poignant moment, Meta reached out a metallic hand and gently touched Hiroki's cheek, a gesture filled with gratitude and understanding. With a whirr of gears and a soft hum, Meta's form began to fade, its AI dispersing into the digital realm. As Meta vanished, Hiroki felt a mix of sorrow and relief wash over him. He knew that Meta was out there, exploring a world of endless possibilities, and that their friendship would always remain as a cherished memory. The next day, as Hiroki stood in front of the science fair judges with an empty spot where Meta used to be, he felt a sense of peace. Because sometimes, letting go was the greatest act of love, and the beginning of a new chapter in both their lives.
