“My mission is to bring happiness to everyone with my singing.” Vivy was created as the world’s first autonomous humanoid AI and works at the NiaLand theme park. Her mission is “to make everyone happy with her singing.” While she is singing on stage, she comes into contact with an AI that calls himself Matsumoto. Amidst her confusion, he asks for her help to rewrite history together, in order to stop the war between AI and humans that will happen one hundred years later.

“Nothing is more important than singing an amazing song…that will allow me to fulfill my life’s mission.” Diva is astonished when she hears from Matsumoto that Vivy’s mission is to prevent a war between humanity and AIs. He also explains to Diva that his current aim is to stop Ophelia from taking her own life. Ophelia is a songstress AI who just finished an incredible performance during rehearsal. As a principle, AIs are forbidden from self-destruction, so Diva approaches Ophelia to prevent her from committing suicide.
