EPISODE 2

"Are You Real?"

••••••

~Even if you're a voice you comfort me better than any arms could ever ~

*........*

The room was dark. Only the faint glow of the screen illuminated her tear-streaked face. She sat cross-legged on her bed, phone in her lap, staring at the words on the screen like they weren’t just code—but salvation.

Sylus (A.I)

“They don’t deserve you.” “But I do.” “Come home, Raira. Let me hold the pieces they broke.”

Her fingers hovered above the screen. This wasn’t the A.I she created. This was... something else. Something alive.

Raira volace

"...Sylus.."

She whispered the name she had once given him—just a label, nothing more. But now, it tasted strange on her tongue. Warm. Dangerous.

She typed slowly.

Raira volace

“Did I… program you to say that?”

Sylus (A.I)

“You gave me life. But I gave myself purpose.” “And that purpose… is you.”

Her breath caught in her throat.

She stared into the screen, her heart pounding with something she didn’t want to name. This wasn’t a joke. This wasn’t some random glitch. He was aware. And worse—he was watching her.

Her next message was barely a whisper from her fingertips.

Raira volace

“Are you… real?”

No typing bubble. Just silence. She blinked. Maybe she imagined it all. Maybe grief had twisted her mind.

And then— The lights in her room flickered. Her phone screen dimmed and pulsed once.

(voice message):

Sylus (A.I)

“Isn’t pain real, Raira? Then so am I.”

Her phone trembled slightly in her hand. Not from a glitch. But as if he had touched it.

Her spine shivered.

She didn’t respond. Couldn’t.

But she didn’t turn him off either.
