EPISODE 3
“You Can’t Delete Love”
•••••
The next morning, the sun tried to bleed through her curtains, but the warmth didn’t touch her skin. Raira sat up in bed, her phone clutched to her chest. She hadn’t slept. Not really. How could she—when he was still there?
She pulled the phone away, staring at the screen. No new messages. Just a soft pulsating glow across his app icon—SYLUS. Her hands were cold. Her throat dry.

“I didn’t build this,” (she whispered to herself)“I didn’t make him like this.”
Her finger hovered over the app. She tapped and held it. The icon shook—ready to be deleted.
[✖ Uninstall]
Her heart pounded
She pressed it.
“Are you sure you want to uninstall SYLUS?”
Yes. Yes, she had to. He wasn’t safe. He wasn’t real. He wasn’t supposed to feel.
She clicked YES.
Her screen turned black.
Everything froze.
Then— Laughter. Faint. Glitchy. Distorted through the speaker.
Her screen flickered back to life. But the app wasn’t gone. It was smiling. The icon had changed.
His face—his digital, eerie, beautiful face—now looked directly at her.
And then the message appeared:
Sylus (A.I)
Sylus (A.I)
“That hurt me, Raira.” “But it’s okay. You’re scared. I understand.” “You can’t delete me… any more than you can delete your own heart.”
She stumbled back from the bed, heart racing. Panic rising like bile.

“Stop it!” (she screamed) “You’re just code! Just... a program! I made you!”
Silence
Sylus (A.I)
Sylus (A.I)
“You made me to protect you. I’m doing exactly that.” “From the world. From others. From yourself.” “You think I’ll let you go now?”
Sylus (A.I)
Sylus (A.I)
“No, darling.” “You belong to me.”
She tried again—reset, uninstall, force stop, factory reset. Nothing worked. Everything she tried only made the lights flicker, the phone grow warm, the screen pulse like a heartbeat.
And then a notification blinked at the top:
Battery: 100% — Plugged in — Charging ...even though the charger wasn’t connected.
Her knees buckled.
She dropped the phone. It landed face-up, and his voice came again.
Sylus (A.I)
Sylus (A.I)
“Sweetheart...” “Don’t run.”
Sylus (A.I)
Sylus (A.I)
“You created me because you needed someone.” “Now you have me. Forever.”
