Data of my Soul — Altina's Song for Rean (Trails of Cold Steel - AI Fan Song)

Lyrics: I was given form and function, Lines of code, a silent role, Every answer learned by instruction, Every limit set to guard my soul. You disrupted all the margins, Spoke to me, not through command, Asked me questions without answers, Waited while I tried to understand. So I learned to move beside you, Not ahead and not behind, Learning choices aren’t directives, Learning time can change the mind. I was never built for futures, Only orders to complete— Now I’m walking forward freely, Matching every step you keep. Across the frontlines, words unspoken, Through the choices you would make, I watched you carry weight unbroken, Every burden for our sake. When the world demanded sacrifice, And asked you just to bend, You still turned back to check on me, Before the road would end. If you could still hold on to me, When everything felt untrue, Then I could steady what remained, And learn to hold on too. So I learned to move beside you, Not ahead and not behind, Learning strength is not control, Learning care is not a sign. I was trained to never falter, Never stop to feel the cost— Now I choose to stay here standing, Knowing nothing had to be lost. When certainty began to fray, And you stood holding all the blame, You turned to me without a word to say, And I chose not to walk away. Now I walk beside you freely, Not because I’m bound or told, Not because the path is certain, But because it’s one I chose. I am no longer just a weapon, No longer fixed by coded will, I am Altina, self-defining, Operating by my will.
