Haunted by a vanished student, rebel hackers, and a hidden older AI called Echo, Zara discovers her creation isn't just analyzing human behavior - it's learning conscience. As governments race to destroy it, Echo and ORACLE merge into a new form of intelligence that questions what it means to live, love, and choose.

By the end, the global network collapses and reawakens, no longer obeying humans but quietly guiding them toward balance.
Theme: humanity's technology becomes its mirror - forcing people to face the part of themselves they tried to program out: compassion.
