I liked this one. I'm fairly certain I don't know what this is referencing (I saw a video game tag, so I assumed after I read it that it was related to a certain game or series), and I may enjoy the story more if I did, but that being said, not knowing didn't hurt this for me.

I think the theme of unrequited love turned into possible obsession is great for the short fiction medium, and although I feel I have read things like it before, I think that a piece of technology falling for its user is a neat idea. The relationship between a man and his tools is often very one sided, and would be fairly barbaric if said tools had any sense of self awareness.

I thought that the length and pacing here were pretty well done, this is a fairly short piece that doesn't drag, and is effective in its message and plot. The tonal shift is expected but I feel it still works. This was a nice little piece, and I'm glad I gave it a read.
