Paul hesitated, his cursor hovering over the sync button. A small voice in his head whispered a warning — This is insane. Probably malware. Maybe worse. But curiosity clawed its way past caution. Nothing had ever truly disrupted his ordinary life before.

His Facebook profile lit up like a digital blueprint. Instantly, the AI began mapping out his entire social web: friends, exes, coworkers, high school acquaintances, even girls he’d quietly admired but never dared to message. A low hum buzzed from his speakers — like something waking up.
Text appeared beneath his profile photo:
“Profile synced. Welcome, Paul. Let’s shape your reality.”
The screen transitioned into a sleek interface with a new prompt at the center. On the left, a glowing tab labeled "Recommended" slid open automatically, revealing a curated gallery of traits — all taken from people Paul knew.
There was Sarah's radiant smile, Derek's unwavering confidence, Mia's graceful walk, and Jenna's melodic voice. Each trait came with a small profile picture and a glowing "Integrate" button beneath it. The AI wasn’t just a search tool — it was actively offering him pieces of lives he once admired from afar.
At the center of the screen, text read:
Who would you like to search for first?
You can choose a name, a trait, or even a random trait.

He cracked his knuckles, leaned in, and began to type.
