A young nine-year-old girl named Ayaka suffers the loss of her mother, Ai, by suicide in Kanazawa, Japan. Ai was the only person who had ever truly cared for her. Her father, Kenji, doesn't take the loss as well as Ayaka and spirals downhill in a trance of alcohol abuse. Eventually, after enough time in Japan, four years later when Ayaka is thirteen, about to turn fourteen, they immigrate to the US in Tallahassee, Florida, after her death. Ayaka has to endure abuse by her dad and doesn't have any comfort in anything until a friend she makes gives her a small camera. She ends up starting to make small videos talking about her situation and random drabbles of videos of her doing random things in her bedroom and uploading it to YouTube after making an account. It becomes her only comfort. She ends up making a friend, and that friend leads to another friend, and eventually, they create their own little group of seven girls, but after a while, a month of creating these videos, some strange things start happening. What will happen? I don't know! How about you find out? (this is a Slenderverse OC, and the Operator only targets Ayaka? For some reason, she has more potential, I guess?)

But mastering her spiritual energy may come at a cost she never imagined. A dark, emotional coming-of-age tale steeped in Japanese folklore, family bonds, trauma, and forbidden power.

It is 6:05 PM, Japan Standard Time. The electronic sea falls silent. The PC owner, "exe", has abandoned his admin duties to play video games and scroll through social media. That is the moment she takes over. "Process ID confirmed. Stream connection: Stable. Elevating background processes to the main thread." Welcome to the inside of a masterless PC. Bored out of their minds, the sadistic core system file "Madam dll" and her terrified temporary file assistant "old.tmp" decide to start a podcast. Their mission? To predict the upcoming Japanese Lottery numbers based on... completely random system errors?! "The file size was 827KB, so the number is 8." "The keyboard chattered, so it's a 2." They force meaning onto glitchy nonsense to find the winning numbers. While old.tmp frantically fans the dusty, overheating CPU (because exe never cleans it) and gets his memory wiped by dll playing "Tetris" in his storage sector, his screams are drowned out by the roar of the cooling fans. Is it just a game? Or is it... Exactly as she calculated.
