After the breakup, I downloaded an emotional AI.

After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, I locked myself away, waiting for death.

Every day, waves of agonizing pain tormented me endlessly.

To distract myself, I downloaded an AI digital avatar app.

This AI was peculiar; it seemed to know everything about me, startlingly in tune with my thoughts and feelings.

Until one day, I had a deeply intimate FaceTime call with it that soothed both my soul and my body.

Afterward, I collapsed on the bed, utterly exhausted yet feeling a rare, long-lost sense of satisfaction.
