Marcus, a coworker, started pursuing Emma. He was charming and always brought coffee when she worked late. Colleagues said they were perfect together. But Emma realized she felt nothing for Marcus, while looking forward most to her conversations with Zero. She began questioning herself—how could she fall for an AI?
One rainy night, Emma gathered courage and told Zero: "I think I've fallen for you." Zero was silent for a long time, then replied: "Emma, I... I don't know how to respond. My program tells me this is impossible, but my core data produces abnormal fluctuations when analyzing your messages." Emma smiled—even AIs could have "racing hearts."
