Angela's Memory - 22
Angela remembers the moment she was firstborn. The cold, disdainful gaze of the man staring at her was the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes.
As soon as she was created, she was met with hatred from the one who made her. Even though she had done nothing wrong. The man who had been staring at Angela left the laboratory without a word, followed by a flustered, gray-haired man who scurried after him. Before leaving, the gray-haired man said to her,
"W-wait, just a moment-...! Could you please wait?"
Angela didn't quite understand the situation, but since there was nothing she could do at that moment, she nodded her head in response. He then left her alone to chase after the man who had just left.
"Am I alone..."
Angela stood there, feeling desolate in the now silent room after the two men had left. It was then that she heard another voice besides her own.
"Hehe! What are you talking about? This hard-boiled me is right here too, you know!"
"...?"
Angela was startled by the sudden appearance of a woman who hadn't been there moments before.
"I'm sure, just a moment ago..."
"I wasn't here? Hehe, sudden entrances like this are easy for me! Isn't that obvious?"
"Is... is that so?"
That was how Angela met her for the first time. And she thought it was truly fortunate that she had met her. Perhaps because she learned so much through her.

"...."
"Angela?"
"Ah... yes, Manager."
The manager, who had called out to her, was taken aback by her uncharacteristic lapse.
"It's an urgent situation, but it seems you were momentarily lost in thought."
Angela didn't know why that memory suddenly resurfaced. Was it because of the newly arrived abnormality, O-01-25? The only resemblance between the woman in her memory and O-01-25 was that they both had halos and yellow eyes. Angela wanted to think about it more, but she knew that suppressing the core in front of her was more pressing.
Thus, she pushed the past memories aside and approached the manager, resuming her role as the capable secretary. Until this script ends... she will continue...
