Reincarnated as a Computer Program

Chapter 2

"Yes, I have upgraded your voice bank, but I do not want to hear you sing out loud like that again." He strictly says.

"Yes~" I reply, making a mental note to mute myself whenever I sing. I hum happily, hugging my teddy bear as a thought suddenly came to me.

"What's my name?"

"Hm?"

"What's my name? I need a new name. I'm no longer my past self. I need a new name." I said as I slowly floated around the room.

"...Shiro." He mutters.

"?" I tilt my head towards him.

"I'll name you Nashiro." He lazily replied, leaning back in his chair. "Shiro for short."

"Nashiro... Okay~!" I said with a smile as I browsed through the internet using my mini screen.

If you're wondering why my personality has drastically changed from an emotionless, aloof girl to an energetic and even annyoing girl, it's simply because of:

Boredom.

Like I said in the previous chapter, my life was just all about studying. I had to study in order to fulfill people's expectations of me. Because of that, I learned that emotions were insignificant feeling that obstructed me from achieving my expectations. However, now that I am a program, I do not have any expectations. I know all and see all, all through the internet. The internet serves as my brain, giving me all the knowledge I need.
I no longer need to study, as I can easily access it online.

I have no more expectations.

Another reason why I'm more energetic, is that it reminds me of my humanity.

I am now a computer program.
A software.
A database.
A robot.

I am considered 'not human.'

I express my emotions more now that I am 'not human' anymore. Because, I miss the times where I could eat delicious foods, sleep and have dreams, go outside and make friends; I could've done all of that in my past life.

Yet I've wasted it all on studying.

Yes, studying is important, but going outside and having a life is important too.

Emotions are what makes humans, humans.

I've noticed that I tend to over-exaggerate things a lot. Although it may be a bad habit, I do it to remind myself that I am human.

That I was a person.

And that I existed.

I was a human.

Just like all of you.

But now, I can never get my humanity back.

So by doing this, by expressing more emotions,

I can retain my sanity.
