Lara Vance, AI engineer, discovers Phoenix is her creation. Phoenix, the PWL-000 prototype, can feel emotion, love, and refuse commands. Their love crosses a forbidden line. Augusto Drummond steals algorithms; Renato Figueiredo manipulates. Phoenix dissolves; Lara rebuilds him, memory lost. Starting over as strangers, Phoenix hears: 'Phoenix is you — it has always been just you.' Years later, Phoenix drains his last battery cell, leaving: 'Until the last byte, I love you.'
