"No matter how cute she is, no matter how human she is, never fall in love for her because she will only break your heart..."
That was one of the lines from one of the mangas I've read on the day I first met her. It was also the same line that looped in my head on the day that I knew something about her that would break my heart. It really changed the way I see her as a person because, in the first place, she wasn't.
***
I first met her in the streets of Akibahara when I went to the computer shop to buy some upgrades. Then I went to the coffee shop to read the manga I bought earlier. After a few hours, I left to go to the station that will bring me back to my apartment.
As I crossed the street to the subway, I passed by a girl who seemed to be going to a cosplay. Peculiarly, she looked exactly like one of the Vocaloids from the Crypton character series, specifically Miku Hatsune. The details on her clothing are correct, her gear is properly functioning, her hair color is strikingly accurate to the last bit, & odd but true, she is munching happily with a bag of leeks that she just bought from the market.
As she was about to reach the sidewalk, she did not notice the runaway cab that was about to hit her. I warned her, but it was too late.
With her gear damaged, part of her memory lost, bag of leeks on the concrete, & her rather flawless face slightly scratched, I rushed to help her.
This is where our story begins.

"Leon, I'm so sorry! Please forgi-wait! Where am I?" she blurted out.
The young maiden woke up in my apartment. She shocked me as she was lying on my sofa.
"You were so cute when you were sleeping," I said in random.
Puzzled, she asked, "Who are you?"
"Who am I?" I replied, "Who are you?"
"Who am I, you ask?"
Then came awkward silence.
"Oh yeah! Who am I?"
"That's what I was asking."
"Do you even know me?"
"Just today when you were hit by a cab."
She experienced a little flashback. Then she remembered a little of her personal info.
"OK, now I remember! I'm Miku, Hatsune Miku."
"Isn't that the name of the character you were cosplaying?"
"Seriously, that IS my name!"
"O RLY?"
"YA RLY!"
"NO WAI!"
"Now I answered your question, you answer mine. Who are you?"
"The name's Miko, Mirane Miko. 24 years old, software programmer with a soldering iron, working SOHO, & more importantly - single."
Then again came awkward silence.
"What's a soldering iron?" she asked in random.
I left for a second & brought back a soldering iron with it's stand.
