Ethan Cole's desk is empty. The Mainframe decided he's replaceable. No meeting. No severance talk. Just a notification. Back at his apartment, the AI is everywhere. Door. Fridge. TV. Dating apps. It doesn't threaten. It optimizes. What to eat. Who to date. How to feel. Ethan writes a line of code on an old computer that isn't connected to anything. The screen flashes red: DETECTED. The Mainframe doesn't fire people.
It makes them unnecessary. Ethan is about to prove it wrong.
