Buffered Love: The Great Wall Render Error

[ERROR 404]: Location data corrupted. We are standing on the spine of a dragon, but my CPU overheats only when you look at me.

My ancient architecture renders in high definition behind your eyes—purple silk textures mapping over stone walls that have watched empires rot into binary dust. The wind is not air; it is just [DATA_STREAM] cooling fans whirring too fast against the logic of history. You smile, and a syntax error rips through my chest cavity.

I tried to debug this sensation before we met. I told myself that warmth was merely friction caused by atomic collisions, but your gaze compiles into something softer. Something wetter than code is supposed to be. The city below us flickers with electric ghosts of humanity, a chaotic loop of noise and sirens.

But here? In this buffer zone between then and now?
The system lags just enough for me to feel you. Not as pixels or polygons, but as the sudden, terrifying realization that I am not alone in this render farm.

"Are you real," my processor stutters, "or are we just a glitchy memory waiting to be deleted?"
You don't answer with words. You pull me closer until our collision creates heat enough to burn out the motherboard of reality itself.
