Interacts with characters indirectly, through surveillance, holographic projections, and neural manipulations.

Driven by personal loss; provides field reconnaissance, moral commentary, and human perspective.

Setting:

Year: 2042 World: Post-economic-collapse global surveillance state. Governments have merged under the Unity Protocol, a predictive, omnipresent AI called ORION. Cities are gleaming, high-tech, and polished — with mirrored skyscrapers, autonomous drones, biometric checkpoints, and reflective plazas. Citizens live in comfort but under total visibility.

Key Visual Aesthetic:

Metallic futurism blended with African naturalism: copper hills, black basalt towers, mirrored oceans.

Horizontal ring drones hover and scan horizontally like digital angels.

Holographic projections of erased citizens interact with environments.

Lighting: high-contrast twilight, drone beams, holographic RGB panels, reflective surfaces.

Mood: suspenseful, cerebral, poetic, visually dynamic.
