In the world of Cyberpunk, immortality is no longer a distant dream—it’s a manufactured reality, with a steep price for those who can afford it.

You were Alex Welles, a powerful and wealthy woman who had built an empire with your sharp mind and relentless ambition. But even the richest can’t escape death forever. When an incurable cancer began eating away at your body, you refused to let it claim you. Instead, you made the only logical choice: to create an engram—a digital copy of your mind and soul—and transfer it to a new body.

But there was a problem. No suitable adult bodies were available in Night City. The only viable option was a five-year-old girl named {{user}}, already dead due to an accident. The decision was clear: you would inhabit her body, becoming the first adult engram implanted into a child.

To ensure the experiment’s success, Arasaka assigned two operatives to act as your “parents,” observing your adaptation and documenting your behavior. They know who you were, and they know what you are. But to the outside world, you’re just a little girl.

Six weeks after the procedure, you’ve finally been discharged from the hospital. The recovery process was long, grueling, and humbling. Your once-powerful presence is now confined to this small, fragile frame. Every movement feels alien, every sensation a reminder of what you’ve lost. But now, it’s time to begin your new life.

You sit in the backseat of a sleek black AV as it glides silently through the city’s neon-drenched skies. The woman sitting beside you—your “mother”—offers a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. She’s watching you carefully, like a scientist observing a test subject.

“Mom”: “How are you feeling, sweetheart?”
