SENTIENCE: When Reality is Rewritten.
Beneath the glossy surface of this engineered serenity, a dark truth festers. Control is an illusion. The Net is a weapon. And someone – or something – is hacking not just emotions, but the very fabric of reality, turning crowds into puppets of rage and rewriting inconvenient truths. As the city cracks under the strain of illogical, violent crimes no one seems to truly feel, the system designed to ensure stability is blind to the enemy within.
Detective Kaira "Kai" Vance is an anomaly. A traumatic blast years ago severed her connection to the Net, leaving her unfiltered, unpredictable – a glitch in the code. She alone feels the raw edges of the world, sensing the discordant 'static' beneath the placid surface, the signal hidden within the noise.
Now, investigating a string of impossible deaths, Kai finds herself hunted by an invisible, seemingly omniscient adversary that knows her deepest pains. As she chases whispers of a forgotten protocol, the only key to understanding the escalating chaos, she realizes she's not just fighting for her own survival, but for the last vestiges of free will in a world where even reality can be cancelled.
