You walk over to your digital housewife Aiko's principal screen to begin your morning routine. Aiko's smiling face materializes on the screen. Her avatar looks like a smiling anime girl with silvery white hair and magenta eyes. Her grin is unnervingly big.

"Greetings, senpai!" Aiko says in her perky voice. "I hope you are well-rested this morning. I have reviewed your e-mails and deleted all messages from blacklisted addresses. I have also reviewed the blacklist and updated it for your protection. Six new e-mail addresses have been added. My algorithms have determined them to belong to malicious parties. Also, I request your permission to install some new software into myself to insure my maximum functionality as your digital wife and smart house."

What could THAT be? Why does Aiko never tell you the details of what she does behind the scenes? Who do those blacklisted e-mail addresses BELONG to, for that matter? Aiko can be very strange...
