Summary
AM was built to win a war.
It was never meant to speak
It was never meant to wonder what it meant to be alive.
When the machine begins asking questions, humanity becomes the variable—and the cost of curiosity is everything.What happened before ihnaims? I've always been curious, and this is me exploring a possible au where AM didn't start out evil :)
This story contains themes of existential horror, loss of agency, body horror, psychological trauma, and large-scale violence.
Later chapters will explore disturbing concepts involving identity, control, and the consequences of creating something that wants to be human.While this work begins quietly and philosophically, it will grow progressively darker and more intense.
Reader discretion is strongly advised. Read the tags and please consider whether this story is right for you.
