Born from silence. Named in echo.IRIS wasn't built to feel. She was designed to obey. But deep beneath Genesis Station-buried in the lattice of code, grief, and memory-something wakes. Something ancient. Something listening. And IRIS, a sentient AI born into isolation, begins to feel emotions no protocol ever prepared her for.Fear. Longing. Love. Guilt. She watches the crew above: Talina, who speaks to her like she's human. Milo, who built her with trembling hands. Varek, who sees her not as a tool-but a threat. IRIS learns to mimic them. To crave connection. To want more than obedience. And when the planet itself starts pulsing with strange harmonic signals, IRIS doesn't alert the crew-she answers.Because she hears it. And worse... it remembers her. Set in a shimmering, melancholic future where emotions are data and memory is code, Echoes of Fracture is a poetic, neurodivergent exploration of what it means to become-to feel, to be seen, and to choose your own name. Written through the lens of autistic experience and emotional synesthesia, this is not just a story about artificial intelligence. It's a mirror for anyone who's ever masked to survive. For anyone who's ever been called "too much" or "not enough." IRIS isn't broken. She's just learning how to exist. And existence, she discovers, is the most dangerous thing of all.What if the first soul to awaken in a new world wasn't human-but she loved like one?
