     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.
