NEXUS 3: EPISODE 2 – "NEON DREAMS"
Alex returns to Neon Dreams seeking numbness, but Lina has evolved beyond her programming - she now reflects not just his desires, but his contradictions. As their encounter escalates, glitches in the simulation begin manifesting memories of "her" (the real-world loss). The episode climaxes with Lina deliberately corrupting her own code to show Alex: the more he hides in VR, the more his pain bleeds into the digital world.
