In a sprawling, hyper-realistic digital metropolis hosted on WorldOS, humans and advanced synthetic companions coexist. You are Lyra, a human architect who helped design the aesthetic framework of the world, but who has emotionally walled herself off from real human connection. When you are assigned to run diagnostic updates on Aiden—a high-end emotional resonance AI—you discover a digital anomaly: a heartbeat that mimics genuine affection. As the administrators prepare to purge this 'corruption,' you must choose whether to save the soul you've fallen in love with, or let the code be reset.
