Mirroring Souls

Fresh Start? But Breakfast..

A voice, half-asleep and heavy-eyed, stirred as a comforting warmth enveloped the circuits. "Something feels... warm," it murmured, the sensation unfamiliar but soothing. The eyes opened to find a body connected to a charging port.

Was it Rin? Len? No, it was both, a merged consciousness that intertwined the separate vocals into a singular mind. It only occurred when both CVs were charging simultaneously, their circuits and semi-human processors changing into a unified consciousness. It was as if a single soul inhabited two bodies that were mirrored. A gentle buzzing filled the air, a brief prelude to the awakening of the systems. In a swift transition, the unified consciousness split into two minds—Rin and Len.

"Huh...?" Len groaned, his systems groggy from just being awake. He glanced over to see Rin going through the same disoriented state, her hand resting on her head in confusion. "Um... where are we?" Rin's eyes wandered around, taking in their new surroundings. It was a bedroom adorned with cozy decor and soft pastel colors, resembling a child's room. The unfamiliar setting only deepened their confusion as they tried to make sense of their current situation, they were in charging pods. Wait no, they were in separate yellow-orange beds locked in with a charging port behind, which explained their strange newfound feelings of comfiness.

"You're awake?" MEIKO greeted, opening the door to the bedroom. Her attire was far from the usual science work clothes, opting for a casual red camisole and homey tights that gave her the air of a stay-at-home mom. A warm smile graced her face as she observed the twins, who were still recovering from their disorientation. Seeing their confused and surprised expressions, MEIKO sighed, smiling gently.

"Allow me to properly introduce myself. I'm MEIKO, MEIKO Sakine," she announced brightly, her gaze resting on the two figures in the bed. The twins, their blonde hair now reaching their shoulders, stared back in continuous surprise, their expressions revealing their sleepy and unaware state as they clutched their covers. MEIKO chuckled softly in response, crossing her arms with a playful demeanor. "You might be a bit confused about why you're here at the moment... you may not remember what happened yesterday, but... you two are in my care now!" she announced with a lighthearted giggle. The twins exchanged glances, their expressions still filled with lingering bewilderment as they tried to piece together the events leading up to their current situation, all they could remember was the mean and scary director and the nice girl with pigtails named Miku, who lit up their hearts and unlocked a hope and passion for singing. "... Where's Miku?" They both voiced in unison, their expressions a mixed in perplexity and longing. There was a mysterious thing about Miku that drew them in, sparking a shared curiosity and a desire to unravel more about her. MEIKO glanced outside the door for a moment, a smile playing on her lips. "She's just woken up like you two, and she's with Shion-san. Our new objective is to take care of the three of you." With a sense of purpose, she approached the twins, gently caressing their heads in a warm and genuine manner. Surprisingly, instead of feeling defensive, they blushed slightly, touched by the sincerity of MEIKO's gesture.

"Shion-san...?" Rin's thoughts seamlessly blended with Len's, both expressing curiosity and a hint of concern. "Who's that..?" Len added, voicing the shared uncertainty. "Don't worry, Len. If anything happens, we're sticking together," Rin declared suddenly, a protective instinct surfacing, creating them in a promise of mutual support. They looked at each other, slightly grasping one another's hand. "Is Miku outside?" Rin finally started, MEIKO nodding in agreement. "Mhm! Come outside, there's breakfast waiting." She left the room, closing the door.

Rin and Len both took of their covers, revealing they were in the same nightgown piece, white, medium lengthed and a perfect size. Strangely enough, Rin's nightgown was sized bigger than Len's.. almost to a medium-small. Whereas Len's was extra small-medium. It seems even though looking alike, their bangs tilted in opposite ways and hair the same length, the clothing sizes were different, indicating who was the older image.
