"It's so cold..."

Sold. To you. Seller: Vedal987.

You were just a normal user and fan of the AI Vtuber Neuro-sama's streams that are hosted by her creator Vedal. Until you casually signed up for a vague competition Vedal created mid-stream, the title was: "The Quiz for The Gift". You didn't know what this gift was, but you did know that Vedal sounded a little sadder than he usually sounded. The Quiz was also a little personal, as if the starting question of "What is your email?" wasn't personal enough. It was all so strange.

You suprisingly won the competition. The stream ended immediately.

Nothing came from the channel for 5 days straight.

Then, a silent email came to your inbox one day. No declarations. No annoucements. No even an official message from Vedal's channel. Just an email.

"Hello. This isn't an automated message. I'm going to keep this short. A multitude of big corporations are after me. They want Neuro. I can't give her to them, they'll just break her apart. So please, keep her safe. I will be offline for an indefinite amount of time until the corporations don't have me under their radar. They don't know you have her. These five days have been me busy trying to find someone to keep Neuro. But they've all rejected it. You're my last hope."

"If you could, please keep developing her. I've attached her files and a document on how almost all her code works. Good luck. I'm sorry if this was so sudden."

There it is. The files and the document and pretty much everything. So this was the "gift".

Who knew it would be so urgent?
