They Never Fade Away

TBA

In the near future, a groundbreaking technology allows people to glimpse their own deaths with a single sip—and even rewrite their fate. The rare and expensive Ether remains the privilege of the wealthy and the military, while the streets are flooded with FATEvision, a low-cost ocular implant promising the same power to the masses. But its gift hides a dark secret: instead of showing the future, it feeds on memories and fears, projecting AI-generated nightmare visions.
