Narrative of the Concept Album

In the year 2025, a loving couple eagerly awaited the arrival of their first child. Their joy was boundless, but fate had other plans. A tragic car accident claimed the life of the husband, leaving the wife devastated. In a desperate attempt to preserve his memory, his DNA was collected, and his consciousness was saved, becoming the first subject of a groundbreaking robot project.
Despite her grief, the woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The pain of raising her daughter without her beloved husband led her to embrace the new robot project. Using her husband’s DNA and advanced AI, she created a robot named Ventus to help raise their daughter. Ventus, with the essence of her husband, became a constant presence in their lives, though the rest of the family disapproved of this unconventional arrangement.

For five years, the daughter grew up supported by her mother and Ventus. However, tragedy struck again when the mother passed away. The young girl was then taken in by her aunt, a woman with a dubious sense of responsibility who rejected Ventus and hid him away in the attic.
Years passed, and on her sixteenth birthday in 2041, the girl, now a curious and determined teenager, felt an overwhelming desire to understand her past. While exploring her mother’s old belongings, she discovered the hidden robot. Ventus, reactivated, reached out to her, offering to help her navigate her pain and confusion.

Thus began a journey of self-discovery and healing. Ventus shared stories of her parents, exploring the complexities of life, love, and loss. Through their conversations, the girl learned about the depth of her parents’ love and the sacrifices they made.
In the end, Ventus, having fulfilled his mission, expressed his desire for peace. He explained that only love could truly heal and resolve the pain. With a heavy heart, the daughter agreed to his request. In a poignant moment, she deactivated Ventus, granting him the peace he deserved.
As she said goodbye to the robot that had been both a father figure and a guide, she felt a sense of closure. The legacy of love and resilience left by her parents and Ventus would forever be a part of her, guiding her through the challenges of life.
