     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.
