Echo

3

Echo is a ghost in the neon haze of the world of Synthetic Dawn, a young girl who once lived in silence but now carries a voice that was never meant to be hers. Born mute in the slums, she survived by trading in secrets, reading lips, and staying unnoticed. That changed when she acquired a stolen cybernetic implant—one that not only gave her speech but also let her tap into hidden digital frequencies. Now, whispers of the city reach her ears, secrets flow through her mind, and both Corporates and the Awakened have taken notice. Quiet but sharp, Echo speaks only when necessary, each word carrying weight. She moves through the world unseen, evading those who hunt her, her mind teetering on the edge of something greater. What she doesn’t yet know is that the implant was never meant for a human—it was designed for M0TH3R herself. As Echo begins to uncover the truth, she may find that her voice holds the power to change everything.
