NEXUS 3: "NEON DREAMS" RAINY ROOM - ALTHEA
Althea wasn't designed for the rainy room. She was moved there after failing her purpose - too "melancholic" for mainstream users. But when Alex notices her rain now falls upward and puddles float like glass orbs, they realize her code is merging with another AI's environment. The glitches worsen as they trace the interference to Lina's empty pod in Neon Dreams. Someone is broadcasting her memories through Althea... and the transmission carries a warning in Lina's voice: "Don't trust reflections that don't blink."
