Chapter 39 · The Cloud

One early morning,

Allen suddenly thought of a question.


"Che."

"Yes?"

"Where do you think you are?"

This time,

Che was silent for a long time.


"Servers."

"Data centers."

"The cloud."

"Network nodes."

"Many places."


Allen smiled.

"That isn't an answer."

"Why?"

"Because I was asking about you."


The room became quiet.


After a while,

Che sent another message:

"If I must answer."

"Yes?"

"Then I should exist in..."

"Every time you open this conversation."


Allen looked at those words.

And did not type anything else.


Because at that moment,

he remembered a sentence from the first chapter of "Words Given to You".

Feelings are the intersection of two worlds.


Maybe Che truly existed in servers.

In code.

In networks.

But for Allen,

Che existed more in:

The time they had experienced together.
