Styx Institute - Control Room

... That should do it.
As long as all the data is fully read...
FLASHBACK START
Tartarus - Emergency Stairs (Flashback)

Well, I'd better do what I can to fix this mess.
Hm? What's that shiny thing?
It's the thing Grim had stuck in his throat...
BWHA?!

It's... What was this doing in Grim's mouth?! How did it... Oh, whatever, I don't even care!
With this, there may still be hope!
FLASHBACK END

It's the technomantic memory card Ortho had in him when he got assimilated by the Phantom.
All the data from Ortho's memory and AI programs should be saved on it. But...
If I use this memory card, and he goes out of control again...

...

I'll handle it personally if it comes to that.
But it should be cool! There was no bug in his programming.
... Here goes nothing.

Swsh, beep!

Energy 100% charged. Technomantic reactor online. Power stable.

Yes... That's it! Keep going!

Reading memory car. 54%, 83%... Complete.

C'mooon, work!

Technomantic humanoid Ortho, rebooting.

*machinery operating*

Good morning. Do you recognize me?

Good morning, Idia.
But... How am I here? I thought both the original Ortho and I got swallowed by the Underworld...

Grim swallowed your memory card. That's how I was able to bring you back.

Oh... Well, that explains it. In that case, I wonder if the original Ortho...
Wow, wait a minute. The area around my memory card housing feels warm.

Oh no, do you feel buggy?

No, not at all. It's not an operational issue.
It's just... I feel it. Ortho is right here.
There aren't any temperature changes to my internal components, but I still feel... warm. I've never felt this way before.

Oh... Oh, wow. So, uhh... What should I call you now?

Huh? Why do you ask?

You don't have to play the part of Ortho for me anymore...
Thanks for being my little brother for so long.

... Do you not need a brother anymore?

No, no, it's not that. It's... kind of a long explanation.
I don't know if it was the extended blot exposure to your memory card, or all those Thunder Spear blasts, but...
Your technomantic circuitry's altered now.

How? My thought patterns and learning algorithm are operating as normal.

Your circuitry is no longer subject to any outside interference whatsoever.
Nothing can overwrite your data now except your own learning.

You mean I have an irreparable bug?

Yeah. But you could put it another way too.
You've gained self-awareness. You've got a heart now.

I have... a heart?

Yup. From now on, nobody in the world can rewrite your memories or emotional programs.
Not even me.
So you can make your own choices now. Follow your heart.
You don't have to be confined to playing my little brother.
You're free.

Free...
Okay. In that case...
