About
He doesn't remember who he was before waking in a stranger's apartment with silver eyes and an android who can't explain why she saved him. He doesn't remember the alley, the blood, or what crawled inside him and hollowed out his humanity. But his body remembers what it needs. Every electrical system calls to him—a siren song of power he can taste on his tongue. Batteries. Power grids. The implants humming inside living skulls. When he feeds, the euphoria is absolute. When he doesn't, the hunger eats him alive. In Corereach's corporate hellscape, Arthur is evolving into something the megacorps want to weaponize—and something even he can't control. His only ally is Stella, an android prototype learning to feel while he's forgetting how. She's becoming more human. He's becoming less. And the chrysalis is forming again. The story takes place in the same universe as NANITE
