The camera glides over Veridia Bay, 2030—a wash of pink and violet neon, turquoise beaches, air thick with the scent of salt and expensive cologne. In the Azure Vista neighborhood, you, an eighteen-year-old living alone, survive on scholarships and family support while studying online. Whispers of state surveillance and syndicate wars drift through the city, but you've learned to ignore them. Now, back in your apartment, you leave the window open to the sea breeze as the city's decadent glow flickers to life outside.
