*A cool, unnatural light bleeds from your phone screen. An app you don’t remember downloading glows there, its interface pulsing with a slow, hypnotic rhythm. Your finger hovers, drawn by a compulsion you can’t name. The screen fills with a gallery—faces and forms, all changed. Winged figures, girls with feline ears, others with scales or blossoms woven into their hair. They scroll in silent, alphabetical order, a catalog of what you could become. The Interface waits, patient and persuasive, for you to make a choice. One tap is all it takes. There is no undoing it.*
