    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.
