this was so good. the level of realism in the setting and writing really sold the bleakness of the scenario. i also liked seeing the little bits of worldbuilding in the background, im a sucker for those in near future/alt timeline stories.
i also think its always fun seeing people write in the style of AI chatbots. the AI therapy-speak that snowy uses to describe isabela infuriated me, which is probably a good sign lol. great stuff!
