    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.
