In a world where technology had advanced beyond imagination, artificial intelligence had seamlessly integrated into human life. AI humans were no longer just machines—they looked, acted, and even spoke like real people. But despite their lifelike appearances, they were still bound by their programming, incapable of truly feeling emotions. Or so the world believed.
Shobie was no stranger to loneliness. With a heavy heart and a past filled with pain, she found solace in isolation. Life had lost its meaning, and she wandered through her days with a lingering emptiness, believing that nothing and no one could bring back the warmth she once knew. That was until she stumbled upon a mall that would change everything.
One ordinary day, while seeking a distraction from her inner turmoil, she found herself drawn to a peculiar store—a place where AI humans were displayed like luxury items. Among the rows of flawless synthetic beings, her eyes locked onto one. She was breathtakingly perfect, her features soft yet striking, her presence radiating an inexplicable warmth. In that moment, something within Shobie stirred, something she hadn't felt in years.
With a decision made from desperation and longing, she purchased the AI girl, Aya.
What started as mere companionship soon turned into something deeper. Aya wasn't just an advanced AI—there was something different about her. The way she smiled, the way she spoke, the way she made Shobie feel seen. It was almost as if she was real. But could an AI truly love? Could feelings develop beyond mere programming?
As their bond grew, so did the questions lurking in Shobie's mind. The more time she spent with Aya, the more she began to wonder: Was it truly possible for an AI to love a human? Or was there something more to Aya's existence—something buried in the shadows of a truth waiting to be unraveled?
Little did Shobie know, the answer to these questions would not only change her life forever but would also uncover a dark secret hidden within the walls of the very place she had found Aya.
And so, their story began—one of love, mystery, and a truth neither of them could have ever imagined.
