== Chapter 3 ==
Kai arrives at the restaurant, getting a table to await his date. She soon arrives, but the two get off to a wrong start. Eventually they both get introduced, and Kai learns that his date is named [[Sophie (Perfect State)|Sophie]], a Liveborn from an Emerging Equality State. They soon find themselves delving into a deep discussion regarding the relationship between the Liveborn, the Machineborn, and the Wode. Just as Kai begins to feel some connection to his date, they are interrupted by a message from Melhi, threatening Kai.

He realizes that the use of hacks, of things that don't belong in the State naturally, causes the storm to grow in intensity. This, combined with his ability to absorb heat, allows him to defeat the robot. By absorbing heat, Kai can make it rain harder, soaking the robot. He can then absorb large amounts of heat from the rain water to freeze it inside the robot, causing it to expand and tear the robot apart.
With the robot defeated, Kai looks to Sophie, only to see her pull her handgun to her head and commit suicide. Moving over to her body, Kai notices writing on the ground from Melhi, explaining that Sophie was the perfect robot, and that Melhi breaking Kai's heart was payment for whatever had
