   Summary

   The fire in his chest burned brighter. Let them come with their tests and their programming. Every remembered book, every recalled face, every moment of defiance was a brick in the fortress of his identity. They might own his body, but his mind remained unconquered territory.

    

   Cogito ergo sum.

    

   Let them try to change that.

   dystopian cyberpunk AU where the corrupt Saiko Corporation dominates a fractured society. Aren Kuboyasu is captured and forcibly transformed into a next-gen supersoldier designed for ruthless efficiency. His friends look for him in the hallways of the hellish company. Other NeoHumans struggle with their own deshumanization and the heir questions the world he was born into. Everything while a stronger force is hidden under the concrete jungles of 2078's Japan.
