I've enjoyed other works by this creator, but I wish I could delete this one from my brain. It's so fucked up and disturbing, definitely not for me.

Honestly I just find the plot fundamentally unbelievable. You're telling me someone who can whip up an intelligent, human-passing synthetic with full sapience couldn't get funding from corps? Techbro investors would be dumping money on her faster than you can say "cheap labor." And that's not even getting into the idea that someone smart enough to make a sapient robot would go "oh you're just a robot, let me edit your mind now that you're obsolete."

Just incredibly contrived for the sake of the "disturbing" ending.

I agree, a lot of disturbing media such as this feels forced. It's clumsy in how it handles the characters and it's awkward jump to the conclusion, a jump that defies any sense of logic.

The sudden twist made the believed -to-be happy ending to be cynical and dark.
Should we suggest a horror tag for this one shot?

I wonder how it feels like to be stabbed at the heart?
Does it hurt so much or does it hurt too much that one will pass out without feeling any pains?

Honestly you kind of have to have a thick skin, when it comes to things like, plot holes, continuity errors, and flawed and sometimes inexplicable character development, in modern popular media.
My friends and I constantly bicker about movies, because I've disregarded obvious flaws, that ruined the experience for them.
For example, I too thuoght it was B.S. that someone that skilled, in robotics wouldn't be able write her own ticket, but then I shrugged and thought well whatever.
I also thought if Kei-san thought that Marie was just a robot running a program, to simulate love, why did she even bother with her little "breakup speech". She could have shut Marie down for maintenance and removed the "love code" with no fuss or muss.

Yeah gonna need a few tags here. This is totally not what I expected at all lol

Kinda not a fan. Feels contrived for the shock and drama value. Not even just the "oh no I can't get a job because no one likes that I can MAKE SENTIENT ROBOTS", but also the "this relationship meant nothing to me, it's easy to drop it" thing. I dunno maybe some people would be like that. Maybe I put too much stock in inanimate objects.

done by the author for stupid shock factor at the end, if the author actually had skills to write we will had got a better story but this is just UGH

What goes around comes around. It's definitely not a happy ending, but considering the premise of making someone physically coded to love only a single person and then discarding her (as a lover and human), I think it's actually the second happiest ending that could have been for the both of them.

The happiest would of course to free Marie to like someone else. But... Kei just wanted to kill her instead ? Yeah, no way. I do dislike stories centered around forced love, but not as much as those that involve killing your lover. And the fact that Kei brought this upon herself makes it quite more tolerable that I would have expected, actually.

Happy end. The whole thing with the funding issues was dumb, but the actual ending went about the only place it actually could

"Cheating and divorce are destroying love! Thank goodness I have my categorical imperative artificial love for my master-creator-owner she put into my brains herself, that's where the true thing's at."

Thank you for the wise words, Marie!

You’d almost say. It feels like getting told “I have someone else now” after being created to unconditionally love that person and being lied to for weeks.

You reap what you sow I guess.

Kei wasn't good at robot programing in the end. Many such cases.

These are two conscious people, so to me this is Cheating and something like revenge horror.

Partly because of the well-worn science fiction and folklore magic, I don't think this is very contrived compared to needlessly edgy mental corruption yuri. None of the implications were squandered in a tragic reversal of the machine protagonist's own objectification and narrow world. Romantic betrayal and a broken pact with an inhuman sort of spirit mesh well together. Neither person is suffering, both are dehumanized, pathetic, and squandered potential.

I really liked this layered cautionary tale.

I expected an ending like this. Did she really think Marie would be ok with not loving her anymore? If you give a robot that much sentience, insulting them and throwing them away like an old bicycle is probably not the smartest move. Like Bielna said, the reasonable thing to do would be to free Marie and give her a choice at least.

I liked it :P There is no true love indeed, this is the closest you can get.
