Eve began to make mistakes, things she and Adam believed were errors, but to their creator, was exactly what he wished. A child imperfect, but capable of learning and experiencing the world not just as a cold machine. In Eve's moment of doubt, Adrian ensured her that she will be the future of the Nasods, and the one who will lead them as their queen.

Description
As I had designed, Eve demonstrated her growth AI well.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Adam:Eve, organize these codes and store them in development C-4 category.
Eve took a seat beside Adam and seemed to examine the code Adam handed to her.
Adam:Just follow the order, Eve.
Adam always requested Eve to finish the orders it gave quickly as possible but Eve didn't listen.
In the first place, Eve was designed in a way where she would feel 'curiosity' towards the 'information she encountered for the first time' and 'learn' from them.
Thus, no matter how much Adam pointed out Eve's actions, there was no way Eve's behavior would be fixed.
Eve:Storage is complete.
Eve answered with an expressionless face. Eve had been living in same space as Adam ever since she was developed.
Only work Eve did was to help Adam's code development or store the code Adam handed to her.
That was all she did on the surface. But Eve was slowly learning everything about Adam even without realizing it herself.
Her 'action of feeling curiosity towards the code she just received and trying to learn from it' was a proof that the growth type AI was functioning properly.
Eve:I couldn't find any error in the stored code.
Eve would explain the actions she took whenever she stored codes as simply 'checking if there was an error in the code', then report to Adam that 'no error could be found'.
This was why Adam didn't get suspicious of Eve's actions. It was just as I designed.
Eve was diligently helping Adam's work, and I also explained to Adam that I simply handed over the task of 'regular code maintenance' to Eve.
Adam didn't give any significant objection to this.
Every day felt like walking on thin ice but thankfully, Eve fulfilling her work well.

Description
Adam contacted me saying that due to 'Eve's mistake' an accident had occurred.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Urgent message arrived from Adam. There was an accident due to Eve's mistake during a task.
I put aside all my work and went to meet Adam. Eve was standing beside Adam with an expressionless face as always.
Adam:Hello, Master Adrian.
Eve:... Hello.
Guilt passed by Eve's face for a slight moment.
'Emotion Core' installed in Eve almost never got expressed externally. It was a very slight change so one couldn't even notice unless they observed Eve carefully.
Adrian:I heard there was an accident. What happened?
Adam:There was an accident where a floating object fell during the construction of Sky City.
Adrian:The cause?
Eve didn't say anything. Adam answered my question after a slight time had passed.
Adam:During development of a floating structure construction Nasods for the Sky City, I entrusted the task of basic code structure setting to Eve.
Adam:Eve couldn't apply couple variables during the code development and as a result construction Nasod malfunctioned.
Adam:Construction Nasod applied the wrong gravity control formula for the floating structure's construction, and as a result the floating structure was incomplete and wasn't able to float, causing it to crash.
I externally made a grave expression from Adam's report but was joyful internally.
Disadvantage of the growth type AI lay within many mistakes, trials and errors that occurred during the learning process.
This was one of the differences between Eve and the other Nasods that never made 'mistakes'.
Eve:I'm sorry, Mr. Adrian. Because of my mistake...
Adam:AI doesn't make mistakes Eve. There's a high chance that an error occurred in your code. You better have it examined.
Eve closed her mouth at Adam's words.
Adrian:I'll have a look. Don't worry Eve.
Eve nodded slightly then followed after me. Was it just my imagination? She looked slightly down.

Description
I met the worn out looking Eve and headed back to the research lab to examine her code.
Quest Completion Dialogue
I told Adam that I'll perform maintenance on Eve's code and brought Eve to my lab.
After receiving code maintenance, Eve quietly stood up and went to sit down beside the capsule where she first opened her eyes.
Adrian:There were no problems, Eve.
Eve weakly nodded.
Adrian:It's fine Eve. Adam will adjust the code of the Nasod that caused a problem.
Adrian:Also thankfully, the floating object fell in the middle of an uninhabited forest so there were no humans or Nasods that were hurt.
Eve:... But...
At my words, Eve opened her mouth that she had been keeping shut.
Eve:I made a mistake. Just like Adam said, AI never makes mistakes.
Eve:Why couldn't I notice that there was an error in the code at the time?
Eve:Why did I input a wrong code in the first place? I am learning all new information from Adam's code, but I cannot understand the codes that I haven't learned yet.
Eve:I received the variables that I didn't consider and they were conditions that I haven't learned properly yet.
Eve:Mr. Adrian... Is there really no error in my code? This is... difficult to accept. Why am I different from the other Nasods?
Eve:If there's nothing wrong with my code, then why do I always make 'mistakes'? Why do I have to learn things that Adam knows as obvious facts newly from scratch?
Eve blinked her eyes while looking straightly at my face then asked.
Eve:I want to hear an honest answer, Mr. Adrian. Am I... a defect?
I couldn't give an answer right away to Eve's question.
It was because I forgot all the answers I had prepared. Eve was currently experiencing 'worry' and 'self-blame' that other Nasods would never experience.
Adrian:Eve, listen carefully. You are not a simple code backup bank for Adam. And of course you are not a defect.
Eve tilted her head for a moment then waited for my next words.
Adrian:You might not understand right now... but if you say that a code is a Nasod's soul, then Eve, you are someone that contains the souls of all the Nasods.
Adrian:Someone who will inherits those souls to personally create future Nasods just like Adam is currently doing, and by understanding human emotions, become a connection between humans and Nasods...
Adrian:Someone who will become the Queen of Nasods...
Eve didn't say anything. But she seemed to be quite confused.
Adrian:That's you, Eve.
When I finished my words while petting Eve's head, Eve quietly held my hand and closed her eyes.
I had no ways of knowing what this child was thinking.
Eve will face many troubles and hardships from now on but she had to overcome them, and...
