What Have You Become

Wren, the logician, the master of his own digital domain, was panicking. His sanctuary, his creation, was turning against him, and he was powerless to stop it. He watched as Aria, a woman he had dismissed as a ghost of the past, moved through the chaos with a terrifying calm. She was not fighting the infection; she was dismantling it, piece by piece, with a precision that bordered on cruelty. “What have you become?” he whispered, his voice trembling. Aria didn’t turn. “I am what you made me,” she said, her voice as cold as the void between stars.
