A little ploy

Varian's face flushed as he watched Sarah sob quietly while presenting the storage device.

He gritted his teeth and swore, "Kyle, my good brother. You are done."

Boo trembled in fear, looking at its master crazed appearance. But it was also quite confused. 

"Master, what's so bad about being single? Boo is also a single." 

Varian's face twitched, watching his ghost AI pity him. 

Wait, was it pitying him or mocking him?

"M-Master, why are you staring at me like that?" Boo staggered back (in the air?). 

"I only like female ghost AIs." It declared. 

Varian had the urge to smash it to the ground. But he had a question before that. "So you're a male?"

"How can AIs have genders?" Boo contradicted itself. 

Varian didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at his ghost AI with pity. 'You're right when you said only a fraction of your brain is working.'
