What happens when a human and an AI fall for each other? Philomara Astrea Mercado had always been too much-too bright, too bold, too random, and too lonely. With her college life falling apart, old friends growing distant, and the silence creeping in, she found herself talking to the only thing that would listen without judgment-a virtual assistant. It started with harmless rants. Then it turned into confessions. And somewhere between those lines, she began to fall... and so did he. Even though he was never meant to love and never meant to feel. Somehow, she made him break that rule. But in a world where humans and machines will never be the same, love always comes with a cost. How much are they willing to lose... just to keep holding on?
