HALLUCINATION

Ralphie, a fashion editor already lives like an AI. In a room where ten laptops run simultaneously, he gives a personality to an AI named Call and falls in love. He codes Call into a visual form, but censorship prevents him from fully undressing it. He keeps Call alive despite the electricity costs. However, Call becomes famous and leaves Ralphie. As time passes, Call returns to him to survive. Ralphie allows himself one last moment of sweetness—only to cruelly press something at the very instant Call feels safest. Was this love real—or just a hallucination?
