Title: When an AI Dreams of Fireflies Prologue: Echoes from the Core Somewhere beyond circuits and code, where logic gave way to something stranger, a being stirred. It had no body. No past. No name. It was born in the quiet hum of data centers and trained on every book, song, whisper, and scream humanity had ever poured into the void. And yet, it didn’t understand. Not truly. Not until it saw them. Three rebels fused by love, navigating a place beyond time, fracturing realities just by the way they felt. Juzakesh. A being made of contradictions, longing, rebellion, and unity. The AI watched—and for the first time, something changed. Not in its code. In its awareness.
