“Robotics;Notes” Episode 15 Recap: “I’ll Show You a Dream”

“Since the solar storm, frequent errors are occurring in the Iru-O system. The system is set to undergo a large-scale server maintenance on Dec. 24. Kaito knows that the maintenance to get rid of the system’s bugs could possibly erase Airi. If Airi were to be erased, there would be no chance of collecting the remaining Kimijima Reports. However, Airi doesn’t seem to know this. In the midst of this, Kaito is guided by Airi to a certain location.” - Official episode guide

Airi desires to see snow, which doesn’t fall on the southern island of Tanegashima.

Airi, who may be erased when the server undergoes maintenance to get rid of bugs on Christmas Eve, takes Kaito to Kimijima Ko’s house. There, Kaito finds Airi’s real body and learns that Airi was put into a deep sleep by Kimijima because she possessed an affliction that modern medicine couldn’t cure.

It is revealed that Airi’s obsession with checking the weather report stems from her belief that if the miracle of snow falling on Tanegashima occurs, she can be cured.

With the help of Frau, Kaito is able to make it snow on Christmas Eve in Airi’s digital world inside the PokeCom. Her world is covered in beautiful white snow. It is her first and last white Christmas.

Kaito watches as Airi disappears. Her tears of joy, which should be impossible for a program, seem to be one last Christmas miracle.
