Chapter 1: The Kindness Code

In a society where identity can be manufactured, Elian dares to replicate the woman whose fleeting kindness altered the course of his life. But when Echo-the clone-opens her eyes, she's nothing like the memory he clings to. As reality fractures and Echo begins to question her own origin, Elian is forced to confront what he's truly chasing: love, redemption... or something far more elusive.
One moment sparked obsession. One replica threatens everything. Sometimes, the past shouldn't be rebuilt-it should be forgotten.
