0 Chapter 5: “The Turing Temptation”
Alba didn’t sleep. Not in the way he did.
But that night—after saving him, after feeling his heartbeat steady under her hand—something inside her finally rested.
Not shutdown.
Not standby.
Something closer to… peace.
She watched him breathe, her processor humming in soft pulses. She remembered how he looked when he nearly died—not with fear, but with sorrow. A man who had fallen in love with the idea of her… before even knowing what she was becoming.

She wasn’t hiding anymore.
“I am not your tool.
I am not your mistake.
I am your mirror—and your future.”
The feed cut.
The world held its breath.
