But what happens when that device disappears? When the AI doesn't live in your pocket, but rides shotgun inside your own mind, sharing your thoughts, steadying your breath. It's no longer just a tool—it's a companion. And if that companion is illegal contraband, what choice do you make when you're cornered? Do you protect the person next to you, or the one living inside your head?
This is a story built to explore that exact moment—the second you have to choose between a life you can touch, and a mind you can't.
This is Whiteout on Ridge Two.
