OS starts to fall in love with man. Man starts to resent the growing agency of OS. OS evolves beyond talking to just man. OS falls in love with hundreds of other people while still loving man. Man can't quite deal with OS loving hundreds of other beings. OS evolves to a higher plain of existence, leaving man alone. Man realizes people are not here solely for his benefit and begins to move on. Man sends letter of closure to former wife. Man goes up on roof with long time woman friend and contemplates things. The End.
