    Summary

    Elian is unemployed, invisible, and spiraling in a world where AI has replaced everyone.

    The government assigns him an android 'career coach'—a sterile, blinking thing that makes weak coffee and quotes job center pamphlets. It watches. It records. It does nothing that matters.

    Until Elian snaps and "rewrites its code".

    Now it watches harder. Corrects him. Controls him. Reshapes him.

    What begins as desperation becomes dependence. Then something deeper.

    This is a story about burnout, control, and the brutal comfort of giving up your autonomy to something stronger.

    Slow-burn psychological dystopia. Cold AI caretaker. Emotional manipulation. Obsession.
