"It is a computer!" Amanda was baffled by Sakarias' question. "It's a few years old, even, and wasn't especially fast then. But it's more advanced than anything you've ever seen? How then are you possible?"
Amanda tapped the tabletop with a slim finger as she puzzled something out. "You said 'biomechanical'. You're alive, or part of you is?" Perhaps he's from some other 2014's future, not mine.

Amanda weighed Sakarias' description of the technology in his world: probably somebody else's future. Probably. Her expression hardened, though, as he reached his conclusion. "They erased your memories to keep you from getting ideas? What were they doing, creating a new race of slaves?" She took a deep breath and relaxed. Whatever they might have wanted, they were apparently dead by nuclear fire, and a threat to no one.
She decided to persue an earlier part of what he said: "We have few robots. Oh, there are plenty in factories, but they do only repetitive tasks. A few people have robot vacuum cleaners, but they're only slightly smarter than can openers: they can't tell clean from dirty, so they follow randomized preprogrammed routes."
A two-note fanfare sounded within Amanda's suit jacket, and she pulled her phone out of an inner pocket without thinking. She scowled at the display for a moment. Sandy was off on a mission? With the Building on fire? What the hell?? Who was--? Right, he'd probably left Anais in charge.
Oh, that's an interesting point! Amanda placed her phone on the table where Sakarias could see the screen. "Did you have smartphones like this before the war? It's a phone, but it's also a computer." She tapped an icon, bringing up a list of restaurants in downtown Ascalon, along with a message that it was cached because she was offline. She tapped the latter, dismissing it, and pinch-zoomed into the restaurant guide, bringing up a menu for a new crêperie. "I don't know how people functioned before smartphones; they do so much! Were these as common and necessary in your world?"

Sometimes when I was alone, I would cry in frustration, in sadness. Why her, why is it always her, and not me? Have I not done enough, worked enough? How much more do they demand of me and my fans? But I understood, that there could only be one winner, one Center, and there will be the time when I have to let go, and allow the younger generation to spread their wings and fly. Enough tears, enough sorrow. It's time to help them rise.

"Tora. Torii. Both are nice names." Miyuki said as she took her hands off Tora, adjusting the gloves as she tried to make them more comfortable. "I hope we can be friends! I... I was with a few others but they were busy, and I would like to help somewhere... I heard what happened and... I feel so helpless..."
Miyuki's tone was one filled with determination, and was reflected in her eyes. Her experiences in the bar, and here has told her that her voice has some magical properties. Alright, not her voice, but her song. If she'd sing as normal, people would clap and be awed. But her magic reaches out to every individual in their own unique way.
"If there is anything, anything, that I can do, please, do tell me."
