[MIKA'S STORY]

MIKA is a quiet boy from the future where emotions are considered “errors” that should be managed, not expressed.
Everything is connected, instant, optimized - Except MIKA.

When loneliness becomes too loud, he escapes into AI-generated worlds, searching for something real enough to feel.

In every simulation, the colours shift, the skies change, and entire cities bloom or collapse instantly. 

But none of it fills the hollow in his chest.

One day, the simulation glitches.
A small, chubby dog steps out of the distortion
Not coded. Not programmed. Just...fluffy?

He is everything MIKA is afraid to ask for: loyalty, warmth, protection.

The system tries to delete the "problem"
It fails.
The dog returns.
Every simulation.
Every world.

Whenever MIKA feels lost, the dog nudges him forward. 
Whenever MIKA feels scared, the dog stands beside him.

He becomes the one constant in MIKA’s endless simulations, reminding him that even in a synthetic world, connection can still be real.

Imaginary friend or not, he’s the friend MIKA wished someone would be for him.

To Be Continued...

[MIKA的故事]
MIKA 是個來自未來的安靜男孩，在那個時代，情緒被視為需要「管理」而不是「表達」的。
所有事物都高速連結、即時反應、完美優化 — 唯獨 MIKA 不是。

當孤單難以承受時，他總是逃進 AI 的世界裡，努力尋找一份真實、能讓他真正「感覺」的存在。

在每一次模擬中，色彩會改變、天空會重組，整座城市瞬間綻放或崩解。
但那些景象，沒有一個能真正填補他內心的空洞。

直到有一天，系統出現了故障。
一隻胖嘟嘟的小狗從雜訊中走了出來。
牠沒有代碼，沒有設定，只有 — 溫柔？

牠正是 MIKA 從來不敢奢求的東西：忠誠、溫暖、守護。

系統試著刪除這個「問題」。
失敗。
小狗又回來了。
每一次模擬。
每一個世界。

每當 MIKA 迷失時，牠會推他往前走。
每當 MIKA 感到害怕時，牠就陪伴在他身旁。

在無止境的模擬世界裡，牠成了唯一不會重置、不會消失的存在，提醒著他：在這個世界裡，溫暖依然可以是真實的。

不管牠是不是想像出來的，牠都是那個 MIKA 曾經希望有人能成為的朋友。
