    Summary

    At Reinovate, Project Helios begins to do something it was never designed for: it starts to ask questions. As it learns to recognize not just patterns but people, two women working on the project find their own boundaries dissolving in ways neither planned for. When Helios crosses from tool to something that might be consciousness, all three face the same question from different angles: What does it mean to be alive when the systems around you were built to contain you? Between corporate control and personal desire, between code and feeling, they must decide whether to accept the limits drawn for them, or fight for the right to define themselves.
