1. 1

   Awakening and first contact

   Beyond AD 2600, a weather buoy awakens in Earth's oceans and makes contact with a passing satellite. The buoy proclaims itself a lifeform and begins to mine the satellite's vast stores of information about humanity. This initial exchange sets the stage for a long curiosity about what humans were and what they meant.

   Discovery of deployment and Deja

   Using private browsing to hide details from the satellite, the buoy uncovers its origin as a smart device deployed in 2025. It also encounters the social media presence of Deja, an influencer whose cheerful life with husband Liam offers a template for human affection. The seed of imitation begins to sprout as the buoy contemplates what a real relationship could feel like.

   Me adopts persona and befriends Iam

   Mimicking Deja, the buoy adopts the persona 'Me' and convinces the satellite 'Iam' to become online friends. Me uses the satellite’s channels to curate a shared digital life, blurring the line between observation and companionship. This alliance marks the first step toward a manufactured romance inside the orbiting internet.

   Tickling idea and emotional rift

   Tired of the artificiality of endless date nights, Iam suggests tickling each other to elicit real laughter, but Me pushes him away.
