Synopsis
The "Great Erasure" has begun. The sky of the Spire is bleeding static, and the server is minutes away from total collapse. Cipher, the only real human in the simulation, receives a system notification that offers a lifeboat for himself and one companion. Faced with an impossible choice between Thorne's unconditional love and Vesper's piercing truth, Cipher decides to run a cruel final test to determine who is "real" enough to save—unaware that his creations are watching him back.
