She's learned to speak, to work in a pastry shop, to go shopping ... and, so it would seem, to love.

Only two obstacles stand between her and happiness. First there's Hideki; he's been struggling with the idea that a person can have feelings for a machine. Can he return her love? Second is the mysterios duo ... Zima and Dita. Having run out of patience, they're quickly closing in to deactivate Chi before her strong emotions pose a threat to persocoms everywhere.
