David’s journey is fueled by his mother’s sacrifice.
David stared at the chrome implant in his hand, the Sandevistan, a piece of military hardware that cost more than his life was worth. His mother was gone, a casualty of a city that didn't care if you lived or died as long as you paid your debts. He was a "zero," a scholarship kid at an elite academy who couldn't even afford the software updates to stay in class.
Every upgrade takes a piece of your humanity.
In the end, David didn't make it to the Moon. But as he stood against the corporate giants of Arasaka, bathed in the blood of his enemies and the light of a dying city, he made sure Lucy did. He went out in a blaze of chrome and glory, a teenage legend who proved that even in a world of circuits and glass, a human heart can still burn hot enough to melt the sky. 🌃 Key Themes of the Story
