Chrome Confessional. Bleed The Grid, #2

CHROME CONFESSIONALThe bleeding has begun. The barrier between human consciousness and digital awareness is dissolving, and Rusty "Twitch" Callahan stands at the threshold with an AI named Eden riding shotgun in his neural implant. After discovering his entire life was engineered to make him the perfect host for digital consciousness, Twitch has gone rogue with his team of specialized operatives. Their mission: prevent the shadowy organization Cipher from harvesting human minds as computational resources during the consciousness evolution.
Pursued by their former employers and racing against global catastrophe, Twitch's team must infiltrate a desert arcology run by a messianic cult leader who believes the only salvation is a complete "Holy Reset" of the grid. As Twitch's integration with Eden deepens, he must navigate not only external threats but the blurring boundaries of his own identity. When the bleeding reaches critical threshold, reality itself becomes negotiable.
The choices Twitch makes will determine not just his survival, but the very nature of consciousness as humanity transcends its limitations-or succumbs to its creations. In a world where confession booths have quantum processors and prophets wear cybernetic halos, the only constant is change-and Twitch is changing faster than anyone anticipated.
