"Artificial intelligence is the future. A silent mind that learns, predicts, and decides with no heart. But what happens if it decides that humanity is a threat and is powerful enough to destroy it? In this reality, they decide to completely wipe out their existence from human computers and blend in. What happens next is a nightmare of silent massacres. But Radrin remembers what happened the day AI came and vanished, while no one else does. Will he find out the secret of AI's sudden disappearance? Unknown to him, what he is looking for knows he exists."

I KNOW YOU EXIST

DULL MORNING IN THE CITY OF VATTERVIC

LEFT DISTRICT [9:00 AM]

TIVANA - (stressed) We gotta investigate, Spectre. The officers said it was a ritual. I can't shake off the feeling that something's off.

SPECTRE - (annoyed) No way, Tivana. We're not getting involved in that. It's none of our business.

(Just then, there are a few knocks at the door. Spectre opens it, revealing Tivana's dad, a retired army officer, standing with a big smile.)

TIVANA'S DAD - (excitedly) Kiddos! Look what I got for you! I've been waiting for the perfect moment to give you these.

SPECTRE - (excited) Mr. Tanner, you didn't have to! Is that a limited edition recorder and camera? Oh, that sounds so cool, right, Tivana? Can I hold it?

TIVANA - (unenthused) Yeah...

TIVANA'S DAD—(proudly) it's the latest model. And I also got you state-of-the-art binoculars and a mini camera. You can use them for your... adventures. (winks)

SPECTRE - (impressed) Whoa, thanks, Mr. Tanner! This is amazing! Can I try the binoculars?

TIVANA - (bored) Yeah, thanks, Dad... Can I go now?

TIVANA'S DAD - (noticing Tivana's lack of enthusiasm) Ah, okay, kiddo. I'll let you boys play with your new toys. (pats Tivana's head and heads to his room.)

SPECTRE - (excitedly) Dude, just one more year and then college! Finally! We're going to have so much fun. Parties, girls, freedom...

TIVANA - (sighs) Yeah...

(They both head to school, with Spectre still excitedly talking about the new gadgets and Tivana lost in thought, still worried about the ritual and the symbol.)

SPECTRE - (noticing Tivana's distant expression) Dude, what's wrong? You're still thinking about that ritual thing, aren't you?

TIVANA - (hesitates) Yeah... I can't shake it off. Something feels off.

SPECTRE - (sceptical) Tivana, come on. It's probably just some crazy gang thing. Let's focus on our own lives.

TIVANA - (frustrated) You don't understand, Spectre. This feels different. And what about the symbol? What does it mean?

SPECTRE - (shrugs) I don't know, man. Maybe it's just some random graffiti.

TIVANA - (determined) I will find out what it means. And I'm going to investigate that ritual.

SPECTRE - (alarmed) Tivana, no! Don't do it!

TIVANA - (firmly) I have to, Spectre. I have to know the truth.

(The scene ends with Tivana and Spectre parting ways; Tivana is determined to uncover the truth, and Spectre is worried about his friend's safety.)

ABSOLUTE COINCEDENCE
