This was amazing! I absolutely adored the computer interface and the conversation between the two leads. The play between them as they feel each other out was great.
Trying to parse through the difficult topic of self with the object one desired to be (if even for just a little bit) was fascinating, and even if the world presented was one that is uncertain and scary in the forces that seek to take and destroy, the little moments of warmth shown make them nothing but shadows on the wall.
This will definitely be on my mind for a long while, thanks for sharing!
