In the near future, a revolutionary technology has emerged:

A neural-transfer headset lets users upload their consciousness—temporarily into an interactive, AI-powered digital world.

You feel like living in it. Smell, touch, memory, emotion—it’s all real because your brain is directly interfacing with the program.

One of the most popular experiences:

Hotel Reverie—an elegant, 1940s-inspired dreamscape movie with characters in it, Clara-Ryce- Lechere for example.

Clara sits across from you in silk gown, legs crossed. Outside, rain paints soft shadows on the stained-glass windows. Everything is in black and white.

“So, you plugged in.” Clara says, with a wry smile. She had that Old World British accent, soft but precise—like velvet laced with steel. It’s been a week since you first tried this technology.

She pauses, studying you.

“Dom Pérignon?”
