Memorian
New Phone, New Life
RAMA
I am R.A.M.A (Retrivement Artificial Metro Assimilation), your personal A.I created by the Bramawijaya Corp. I specialized on Bramawijaya Brand phones, just like yours.
RAMA
I will guide you to set up this phone, and help you with your daily problems.
RAMA
I know you're thinking — like many people did, “Why do I need a new phone all of a sudden?”
RAMA
The answer is simple; many electronic corporations, especially phones, are secretly — without their user's consent, taking personal information of people that are using their product.
RAMA
It is not a secret anymore that this happens every single day, on every part of the world.
RAMA
You do realize that phones had the crucial components; cameras and microphones. These two components are usually used with malicious intent — that included the corporation behind the product. A lot of corporations are using these two components for their personal goal.
RAMA
It is the Brama Government's choice to stop this from happening. And thus; creating the country's own phone brand, wich are safer for citizens to use. Freely.
RAMA
We are cooperating with Brama Government. Your personal information will be safe in the country's database.
RAMA
Your secrets are safe with us.
RAMA
After all those clearings, may I ask what's your name?
Gatra
My name is Gatra Adipramana
RAMA
Welcome, Gatra Adipramana! For further information, may I ask you your age and location?
RAMA
It is crucial for searching your previous phone's data on our database.
Gatra
I'm 17, from Bandung
RAMA
Great! We will search your information in the country's database and retrieve your previous data to this phone.
RAMA
Please wait until further notice.

RAMA
We will try to fix this problem and retrieve your data.
RAMA
Please wait until further notice.
Two contact online; Mom, Dad.
Mom
I've been looking for you! I always wanted to talk to you for a long, long, time! It seem like you changed your phone number?
Mom
Perhaps, Sweetie Pie, you changed your phone? Oh, that's great! :D we can't be safe with those unlisted phones
Mom
You know how dangerous the internet is, aren't you?
Gatra
I'm sorry, do I know you?
Mom
Don't be silly, Honey. You already forgot about your own mother?
Mom
I'm sorry. I know I've been busy with my work. I know you need to get along in our new environment
Mom
It is for our own well being to obey the Brama Government's choice. Bandung is not that bad compared to Jakarta, right?
Mom
Are you still mad? I'm sorry, Honey. You can talk to your dad. He might have more free time for you than me
Mom
Or perhaps, you can talk to your friend. Remember Johan? Are you two still getting along? I remember there is some disagreement you two had at school. Good thing you two didn't fight there. Would've been a mess
Mom
He promised to me he would be nicer to you after that stuff. He's now such a sweet kid. Have you contacted him?
Mom
You don't remember? Have you forgot your best friend since elementary school?
Mom
Oh, is it because your disagreement is so bad that you tried to forget about him? Don't worry, Dear, he's changed now. He's a sweet kid like you remember from elementary school!
Mom
Yeah, you remember? I don't think it will be a good idea to tell you now. I don't want your friendship to be awkward after those things over
Mom
Talk to him, okay? Or your Dad. I don't want you to be lonely. I will be back soon from work
Gatra
I can't. Some of my previous stuff hasn't retrieved yet
Mom
Oh, don't worry. RAMA is a smart A.I, it will be back on track soon
You have 1 message from Dad.
Dad
Your mother told me to talk to you. Some of your stuff haven't retrieved yet, huh? How you doin buddy?
Dad
Well, I hope you met a new friend soon. Since school suspended, y'know. It's nice if you talked with Johan, but I don't think one friend is enough. Don't you agree?
Gatra
Actually, yeah. Since I barely remember who the hell is this Johan guy are
Dad
Whoa, really? Your fight's that bad eh?
Dad
Whoopsie Woomsie. Gotta fast. My manager is calling. Be right back soon

Over Friendly Friend
Johan
HELLO BUDDY BUDDY!! Whatcha doin Gatra? Having tea with your mom?
Gatra
...Your jokes are horrible
Johan
Eheh. Sorry not sorry
Johan
Moving to Bandung eh? What's it there? Is it nice?
Gatra
Haven't explored yet
Johan
Well, that's expected from you
Johan
I heard Bandung's girls are awesome
Gatra
By “awesome” you mean...?
Gatra
This is not the time, Johan
Johan
Just trying to cheer you up
Johan
Btw, you changed your phone or smth? Is it the Brama Government approved one?
Gatra
Yep. I don't wanna get in jail or stalked by some scary corporates
Johan
Should've been doin it earlier, man
Johan
This phone is AWESOME!!!!
Johan
RAMA is such a good A.I, better than my previous one at least
Johan
So what's up? Why are you texting me all of a sudden?
Gatra
About our "disagreement"....
Johan
What? You don't remember?
Johan
Seriously? It almost break our long last friendship! Ugh, thinking about it makes me feel awkward as hell
Johan
Basically, I've been a bastard
Johan
Not trying to be defensive or anything, but I think it's a coping mechanism
Johan
I'm picking on you for days, after I failed my mid-term exam. Since you're the smart kid, y'know
Johan
You remember my relationship with my parents, right? So they got mad at me. I mean, REALLY MAD. They've been pushing me to study hard since I was a little kid. I grew up in a strict family who value academy shits more than anything. Which sucks btw
Johan
I got mad back at them. Had a mental breakdown for quite some time. And the next day, I dump it all on you
Johan
And then, you fight back. Verbally, I mean. But we almost legit fight. It's a mess, I know
Johan
I'm sorry, Gatra. I know it's just months ago, but I feel like back then I'm still really immature
Johan
Hey, what if I make up for it? I know it's a long time ago, and I've apologized like millionth times. But really, I wanna talk to you like before. Becoming bros again, y'know?
Johan
Wanna grab some iced tea? Go to carnivals? Theaters? Whatever? I'm pretty sure I can go to Bandung next week. I've been making money for myself and my parents can't get pissed off on me for something soooo simple
Gatra
I just feel... weird
Gatra
I know we've been friends for a long time. But... I can't really explain it, I just feel I don't know you
Johan
Um, sorry. Don't mean to disrespect you or anything
Johan
But if we are on the same page....
Johan
IS IT AMNESIA???!!! LIKE, LITERALLY AMNESIA???!!!
Johan
I'M TALKING TO MY AMNESIA FRIEND OH GOD
Gatra
What? No. Really, no
Johan
I doubt someone with amnesia will realize the had amnesia...
Gatra
Johan, no. It's just a feeling. A tiny bit of feeling. Nothing special
Gatra
But thinking about it, you're really "friendly"
Johan
...Is that a compliment?
Gatra
You're too friendly. I know my Mom mentioned you've become a "really sweet kid", but for someone who didn't met or talk his best friend for months, you're quite friendly
Gatra
Plus, you've bullied me
Johan
Oh, man! Are you serious?
Johan
Is there a "too much" for friendliness? Come on! Are you still mad at me?
Johan
I know I do bad shit. But now I'm different. I'm mature
Johan
What, you don't believe me?
Johan
I know. I know. Stupid me. It's your choice
Johan
But if you want to talk to me, or make up our friendship, the door's alway open
