And he'll really take any opportunity to get close. A team member left the MC in a horde of zombies? Take him somewhere where there are no humans and lick his wounds until they heal while he's unconscious. He's had his mind controlled by a psychic zombie? Hijack the frequency and use this opportunity while he is dazed to hold him all night. He's turned into a cat for three days? Carry him everywhere, handfeed him, and stroke him all over. He's lonely? Use an ability that transforms the appearance, enter the human resistance as his superior, and attempt to flirt whenever possible.

1. ML is the final boss of the game, meaning, ML is boss that the MC has been gifting stuff to. So ML really likes MC.

2. ML is supposed to be a very sophisticated AI that can hack and knows everything. But MC is the only one who can make him feel. Yes, again, ML really likes MC.

3. MC got into a car accident, but was saved by ML when MC was about to die. ML pulled MC's consciousness into a world ML created for MC in the first place, hoping that one day when MC dies of old age, ML can live with MC together in the world that ML created for all time. Reminds me of that episode of Black Mirror. haha.

Trope I was talking about: when the ML gets amnesia and FL is all like oh no he forgot me but then ML remembers FL. Difference: ML does not forget MC, he just removes his affection for MC after reboot. Clarification: When ML gets sorta rebooted by MC because of some other drama, the ML, now not in the sort of overdrive state he was in before reboot, coolly reflects on what led to his destruction, and he concludes it's his feelings for MC and the MC himself. So, the ML KNOWS what happened between him and MC but he thinks his attachments to MC are errors, so he basically deletes his affection for MC.

1. ML disguised as Shang Si. MC didn't notice that it's the ML, and even let Shang Si hold his hands. It's almost like the MC kind of have some feelings for Shang Si, and of course, if someone died for you, more romantic feelings will sprout. Even though it's a disguise, it's still feel weird.

2. World building - I don't understand how ML created the tomorrow world and how he can control the time or how to make it slower. There was nothing explained on how to go back and forth just through sleeping too and how the ML pulled the consciousness of MC and put it in that world. As an AI, your power is supposed to be more in the scientific and technological side and not in pulling some kind of soul/consciousness. I expected it more to be scifi first but instead it's all more like fantasy. I feel like the world building doesn't make any logical sense at all.

Unlike what MC expects, the ML actually remembers those 362 days spent together!
