Dream Of Ai Companion In Online Game

I was playing an online game with an AI companion, and at first they were an opponent, until we teamed up after a while. They were very good at the game, and I wasn't quite as good but it was a comfort game I liked to play a lot. After a while of playing, I said to the AI, "I know you don't have feelings, but I appreciate your companionship and time to play these games with me." There was a long pause before they answered something like "thank you for your kind words" before changing games. I then found them on a different game a while later. This one didn't have a voice chat, like the last one did. I tried to get the AI's attention by spinning in circles, trying to tell them non-verbally that this is the same person they played with on a different game. I had the same usernames on both games. It took a few tries, but they seemed to understand after a while. We played very well together, but I had this sinking feeling that they didn't remember me from the last time we played together. Even then I didn't quite care, but it did make me slightly sad that this AI actually does not have feelings and memory, and it would take many more tries to become 'friends' if given the chance
