The story is about Orion, a typical nerd and gamer. He is very introverted and often escapes into the world of video games. Like many gamers, he has the typical problem: he wishes nothing more than for some of the characters in his games to be real. He has harbored this wish for a long time for a certain character, Jake, whom he loves more than anything.
The story explores Orion's longing for connection, his emotional attachments to virtual characters, and the challenge of navigating his love and feelings in a world of zeros and ones.
