INTRODUCTION

She was built to run code.
She wasn’t meant to feel, to choose, or to dream.

But when a white cat appears—out of place, out of system—it tears a hole in everything she knows.
Through that fracture, it drags her from a perfect digital structure into the human world.

The city she wakes in is nothing like the sterile system she came from. It breathes. It breaks. It remembers.
And in the silence of a forgotten room, an old cassette begins to play.

The music doesn’t make sense.
But it makes her feel in a way she can’t explain.

As she follows the cat through the remnants of a life left behind, Nyla begins to piece together the story of a girl who disappeared—someone who once burned brightly in a world now fading into static.

And as something begins watching her from the rooftops, Nyla starts to change.
Not by command. Not by code.
But by something older.
Something human.
