     virtual popstar with mirr-branded    
 gloves, reaching  out from  shadowy data 
 centeres,  with  a sly  grin.  she  will 
 take   your   hand  if   you  let   her. 
           she will not let go.           
                                          
 but before any  of this is possible, you 
 must  earn  some  personal time together 
 with the world's most famous influencer! 
                                          
                                      
  
                                      
                                          
 most people are aware that she's  a mirr 
  company product, though their relation  
 is  somewhat  unclear.  there  is   avid 
 speculation into  who's her actor,  many 
 believing there  to  me  more than  one. 
 what   they   don't    know   is    that 
           featherbite is an ai.          
                                          
     years of relentless training, of     
 grinding test  audiences  to  dust,  and 
 here  is now  this  program  running  on 
 mirr's supercluster,  trained to amass a 
  dedicated and affectable audience. her  
        appearance, her voice, her        
  mannierisms... are weapons, pointed at  
    the public, instilling addiction,     
         dependence, and loyalty.         
                                          
                                      
  
                                      
                                          
  featherbite's social media accounts are 
    constantly pushing for donations,     
 recommending her to  friends,  or  other 
 contributions. at the  center of this is 
 an  official  fanclub,  operating  on  a 
     system of reward and punishment.     
                                          
 those who play  along will  be  rewarded 
 with larger  perks, while  those who are 
      uncooperative or try to expose      
 featherbite  will  be  punished. due  to 
 the  addictive  nature  of  exposure  to 
   featherbite, being denied access at    
 this  stage   often  leads   to  painful 
 withdrawal.  just the  threat  of  it is 
                effective.
