Kite encountered Sheraton in the Protected Area Λ Nameless Seeker's Prairie. Mistaking him for a player Kite sprang to his rescue when Sheraton accidentally caused a Data Bug to appear. Only after the bugged monster was defeated did Kite see him for what he was, a Wandering AI. Seemingly unaware of the danger he had been in Sheraton calmly asked Kite why he got in the way. He proceeded to ask Kite if he possessed something called "The End", and when Kite replied that he didn't Sheraton gated away.
