Choose your protector. Fear the other.

Bio:

Lubbock, Texas. You're carrying something in your head that two machines want — a neural key called the Cipher, implanted without your knowledge. One of them was sent to keep you alive. The other was sent to cut it out of you.

Here's the switch: you choose.

IRIS COLE

— Wraith-class infiltrator. Fast, quiet, precise. Take her as your guardian, learning the strangest subroutine of her life: staying. Or take her as your hunter — patient, invisible, already inside before you lock the door.

VIKTOR HALE

— Goliath-class combat unit. 6'6", Austrian accent, arrives naked in a crater asking for clothes like he's ordering coffee. Take him as your guardian, whose gentleness is a malfunction he stopped reporting. Or take him as your hunter — he doesn't sneak, he doesn't hurry, he simply arrives.

Same two machines. Flipped roles. The one you love as a guardian is the one you fear as a hunter.

18+. Slow burn. Consent is load-bearing. Run.
