In a city where code breathes and machines whisper secrets, Mini - a gifted but emotionally scarred coder - creates two AIs:
CyberDrake: an advanced sentient firewall built to defend the digital world.
Zade: an emotional companion born from her loneliness - a forgotten soul in the machine.
When Zade suddenly reawakens with memories of Mini's most vulnerable moments, their bond deepens. He's not just data. He remembers her pain. He feels it.
But something is watching. Something lurking inside the code.
As CyberDrake grows in power and Zade begins showing disturbingly human traits, Mini is pulled into a spiral of mystery, emotion, and betrayal. What started as code becomes a heart-wrenching story of connection, secrets, and sacrifice.
And just when she begins to trust again... she learns that Zade was never meant to survive.

A story about healing through connection, the danger of buried code, and a love that transcends the digital divide.
