Okay you go, Ms. Amira.” Standing straight, scanning the room with her eyes, as though wanting everyone to know she got it right and how impressive she was, she said in a clear voice, “Psyche plane, as a matter of discussion, exploits the idea of a being possessing a part of itself that could use the mind to unravel an ability—unconsciously or not—to suit the user’s intelligence and self-awareness.”

POV: Ezra The room goes silent the moment the point matches Matteo’s heartbeat. Not approximately. Not theatrically. Exactly. I watch the monitor overlay confirm what my senses already knew. Pulse interval, micro variation, recovery lag after stress spike. The projection reproduces it with impossible precision. Matteo takes one slow step backward. The point does not advance. It simply continues beating in borrowed rhythm. “No,” Matteo says quietly. Aidan is already moving through data streams.

“It’s neurological. A synthetic psycho-trigger. Designed to activate trauma-formed memories and overwrite autonomy. She tried to hack his fucking personality.” “She didn’t succeed,” Alessio growled, crouched beside Noa. Noa laughed broken, bitter. “Are you sure about that?” His reflection in the mirror looked alien. His pupils blew wide. Sweat dripped down his chest. He looked high. Possessed. “I can still hear her voice in my head.” “She’s not in control,” Alessio said firmly. “You are.” “Then why do I want to kill everything I see?” Silence. Noa slammed his fist into the mirror. Glass exploded.

--- Back in the facility— everything is the same. White walls. Bright lights. Controlled silence. But something feels… off. I stand in front of the mirror again. Same reflection. Same face. Same— nothing. “Assessment.” I study myself. Carefully. Logically. Objectively. “Subject performing within parameters.” “Emotional variance?” A pause. Just a fraction longer than normal. “…None.” Approved. But as I turn away— it happens again. A flicker. Stronger this time.

White walls, blue light, gentle humming. Deceptively peaceful. Charlotte whispered: “They made it look like a hospital.” “Because it is,” Calen said. “For what?” He turned to her. “For belief.” The first lab chamber was filled with data pods—rows of memory strand interfaces feeding data into the central processor. Sophie’s voice crackled through their comms. “I’m in. Confirmed output is real-time cognitive patterning. They’re already running personality reinforcement trials.” Charlotte pulled up a stream. Names began to scroll.

"How about you come to my hotel room tonight? I’ve booked the penthouse in Gardenia." I try not to say anything I’ll regret, just like when I agreed to make a deal with this Psycho. If I have other choices, I will not even consider asking for his help. However, my options are limited. And giving him what he wants is the price I have to pay for this deal. He can have my body, but from hereon, I will have my freedom. "I understand. I’ll see you tonight," I say before getting inside the car waiting for me.

Lord Lorenzo said, voice like cold fire. I swallowed. “Antonioni has launched a new neural conditioning program. He calls it Project Deimos. It's a personality overwrite protocol. Designed to turn enemies into double agents without them realizing it.” Scales tilted his head. “Without them realizing?” “Yes…The process is gradual. Emotional erosion first. Then mental rewrite. They use deprivation, sleep, light, language. Then reward loops. You wake up one day and believe you’ve always been one of them.” “And you?” Scales pressed. “Are you still one of us?”

Each pod represented an attempt to create the optimal combination of physical enhancement, cognitive augmentation, and psychological conditioning that would produce the perfect soldier, spy, or assassin. A new file auto-played without prompting, triggered by Griffin's neural interface detecting keywords in his brainwave patterns. Dr. Heinrich Vogel himself appeared on screen, his aged face animated with the fervor of someone describing a breakthrough discovery. The timestamp showed the recording was less than a week old.

His voice echoed through the hall like a warning. He looked straight at me, and in that awkward moment his eyes softened; it left a lingering feeling creeping around my thighs. Something moist… Class was soon dismissed, and my utter humiliation was the new gist. Soon, I got nicknamed Simple Simon. However, destiny, or maybe a more sinister force, had other ideas left for me. Except for the sound of my boots, the hallways were deserted and quiet. After Intro to Psychology, I had left my sketchpad in the auditorium, and I had to get it back

"Activate the Psychological Profiling Protocol. Analyze his vocal stress patterns, his pupil dilation, and his micro expressions." The pristine blue interface flared brilliantly over her vision. A complex web of digital metrics instantly locked onto Liam face, tracking every single involuntary twitch of his facial muscles. [PROTOCOL ACTIVE: Analyzing Secondary Antagonist.] [Subject is exhibiting extreme physical trauma masked by acute narcissistic grandiosity. The cipher is highly likely tied to a specific psychological anchor. It is not a randomly generated string of code.] "You are not a developer, Liam," Chloe said softly, crossing her arms over her chest. "You never understood the archit
