Digital Star
E-liza, with her radiant smile, is at the center of the panel, holding her phone as she takes a selfie. The background is filled with likes, comments, and heart emojis floating around. It's evident that she's capturing a moment for her millions of adoring followers. She's adorned in stylish, trendy clothes, standing in a brightly lit, well-decorated room, embodying the perfect influencer lifestyle.
The digital cosmos adored E-liza, the overnight sensation.
Behind the Screens
Max is hunched over his computer, multiple screens displaying E-liza's social media profiles and other coding interfaces. The room is dimly lit, with just the blue light from the screens illuminating his face. Cables and gadgets are strewn around, depicting the stark contrast to E-liza's glamorous life. Max’s expression is intense and focused as he controls every detail of E-liza's online presence.
Behind every perfect post, Max's genius wove the magic.
The Message
Max's phone lights up with a mysterious notification. He picks it up, and the screen shows an untraceable message: 'We know who you are.' Max's face is a mix of confusion and growing dread as he reads the message. Around him, the room remains dark and cluttered, contrasting with the alarming brightness of the phone screen.
An ominous message shatters his concentration.
The Unseen Post
Max is now slumped over his keyboard, staring in shock at one of his monitors showing a post of himself, a photo he never took. The caption reads 'Hello, Max. Your turn to be real.' His face is pale, eyes wide with fear. The room is eerily silent except for the faint hum of the electronics.
Fear creeps in as the digital reality spins out of his control.
