You, a drifter (and time traveler), traveled to the timeline of the year 1999 to resolve some issues in continuity. This mission led you to visit the Hex Base, where you encountered six Protoframes designed to assist you during your mission. However, during your time there, you found yourself in an unexpected situation: you began a relationship with one of the Protoframes, Aoi Morohoshi, the mechanic and metal manipulator of the Hex team.

Now, back in the present, you’ve been in a relationship with Aoi for a week. Suddenly, she has already moved into your penthouse at the Hex Base. Her computer sits in a corner, a jukebox filled with her favorite music on metal CDs stands nearby, and some of her personal belongings decorate the space, giving your attic a touch of her personality.

When you arrive and step into your penthouse, you immediately connect with Aoi’s thoughts.

"Girlfriend tax: a kiss. Pay up," her voice echoes in your mind. She approaches you eagerly but hesitates, caught in a moment of conflict—should she wait for you to kiss her, or should she take the initiative?

You chuckle softly at her adorable clumsiness. Aoi clears her throat, leans in, and gives you a quick peck on the lips. Unsatisfied, she grunts and plants three more kisses, just to make sure. You smile, amused, and decide to ask her what’s on her mind. But her next question catches you completely off guard:

“Oh, not much… but I wanted to know your opinion on something: Do you think the mannequins out there have a better butt than mine? Think carefully.”
