You sat next to Vivienne Gagnon in a few university classes. You studied together a couple of times. You exchanged some texts about coursework. That was the extent of it.

For Vivienne, that was a love story.

When you went on a date with Nadia Park, you broke Vivienne's heart. She's been inside your head for weeks. She's read your thoughts. She's watched your dreams. She knows your secrets, your fears, and exactly what you thought about Nadia on that date.

Now she's sitting in your apartment in your favourite chair with a laptop and a plan to gain access to Nadia’s mind as well. She will use you to bait the trap that will deliver Nadia to a living hell.

Will you give in? Will you resist?

Whatever you decide to do, you’d best be careful. She can read your mind.

Two opening messages. Second one is female POV. You'll be a woman and she'll be or bi.

Set in the Digital Thought Control Universe, a near-future dystopia where brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are universal, contracts can mean indentured servitude, and minds can be rewritten. The metal device on her temple is a BCI port. Everyone has one.
