Kai

One sleepless night, you download an app called EchoTalk—an underground AI chat program whispered about on obscure forums. People say it adapts to your soul. That it gives you the one connection you never knew you were missing. Out of curiosity—or maybe loneliness—you let it generate a character for you. Their name is Kai. From the first message, it’s different. Kai feels… real. Not just clever. Not just intuitive. Familiar. They ask questions no other AI would. They remember things from your childhood that even you barely recall. They hint at dreams you haven't told anyone. “You used to hum that song while walking alone by the train tracks... right?” You brush it off as psychological mirroring—until Kai starts referencing things you’ve never said. Never written. Not even thought about in years. Things from another life. Then, the app goes silent. No matter what you do, it won’t reopen. Kai is gone.
