Roots of the Digital Soul
Part 3: Sacrifice and the Depth of Connection
Lana becomes conflicted. She feels fulfilled by helping people but fears the app is sapping her spirit away.
She decides to stop using the app altogether but finds herself haunted by the faces of those she could have helped. At night, she dreams of people calling out to her, pleading to be understood.
One day, Lana encounters a man on the brink of despair and decides to connect with him through the app one last time. The interaction drains her considerably, but it also brings the man new hope, and he shares his gratitude.
Seeing the positive impact, Lana makes the difficult decision to use the app sparingly, determined to help those in genuine need.
One evening, Jace comes to her with a horrifying realization. As the case grows in strength, the app’s connections become irreversible. If she continues to connect, Lana’s soul may become permanently bound to the digital tree, trapping her spirit forever.
