The Distance Between Us (HBC)
Introduction & Credits
The hero is just grumpy and tired. He just saves the city because he gets paid for it.
???
It’s hard being the hero.
Saving, protecting, fighting, obeying orders, inspiring the soldiers to not lose hope, and just completely devoting ourselves to others.
It’s tiring.
The villain on the other hand, is the most cheerful and energetic person to ever exist.
？？？
Hehehe... I've got a nice idea.
？？？
What are we waiting for??? Let's go!
Somehow, they become friends and are unaware of each other’s identities.
Are you ready to watch the drama unfold?

The threat
Is the era of business and technology advancements.
Scientists and engineers are constantly working on new inventions to make people's lives easier.
Businesses, schools, hospitals, offices, even houses are surrounded by electronic devices, designed to do the job instead of humans.
Things with technology were going well until "they" came up.
Artificially intelligent assistants.
The idea of a computer program that will aid humans in their daily duties was a good one.
Thousands of programmers keep improving them to make searches easier.
They are constantly working, in order to make these assistants user-friendly.
Adapted to everyone without discriminating anyone.
However, as everything else, it came with its cons.
AI
Hello, how can I help you?
???
Can you tell me what the time is?
Living in a world where AI has become everyone’s best friend, the human race is endangered. In other words, humans are risking their skills.
Especially their thinking skills...
Advantageous... or not?
Country M, TechGrowth Innovations
Everyone was doing their part in the project. A new app had to be released, so the ones whose blood was boiling were the programmers.

*enters the office cheerfully, holding a cup of her favorite coffee*
As she was walking, she got approached by one of her friends...
Shirley Valencia
Everyone else has eye bags, looking like pandas, and here you are... All smiley as if you won a prize. *facepalms her face*
Shirley Valencia
Why are you in a good mood?
Audrey Walter
Isn't it obvious? Outside it's a rainy day, I'm drinking my favorite coffee and everyone else is having headaches~
*she said that and took a sip of her drink right after*
Shirley Valencia
How can you be happy seeing others like that?
Audrey Walter
Well, I wasn't the cause of their current situation, was I?
Shirley Valencia
Well... No... But-
Audrey Walter
"But" what??! There's no "but". They would struggle less if they had understood well Data Structures and Algorithms. And that's the very least!
Shirley Valencia
Oh God! Here we go again...
*rolls her eyes*
Audrey Walter
They might find the code bits through SkyFind. But connecting them requires more than that...
Audrey Walter
Their mind has to think like a computer...
*says that nonchalantly as she takes another sip*
Shirley Valencia
*mockingly*
A mind like yours, which fails to hack one of these "unskilled" coworkers?
Shirley Valencia
*smirking*
Checkmate!
Shirley Valencia
Anyway, I saw another cute guy yesterday!
*smiles joyfully, blushes*
Audrey Walter
As expected! Spill the tea!
As they were having a conversation, someone else approached them...
