TW

Long ago before fame and popularity became everything, people were normal. Going on walks, playing outside, meeting friends for coffee, normal every day things that we usually take for granted. Y/N remembers this time. The days of spending hours at the mall with her friends, doing absolutely nothing productive. That was years ago. Before popularity and likes became as important as the blood in your veins. Before “The Web”. The web started as nothing special. A simple generator to help you gain likes, make friends and interact with the world. The most terrifying things start out simply, don’t they? The Web has become the main source of dopamine for the world. Chasing likes, wanting to stay relevant, wanting to be liked. Every motion is a new thread connecting them to the web. Except Y/N. Y/N is one of the Five that can see these threads. And every like, every comment, every video posted is a new threat pulling them tighter and tighten into the web. Keeping the secret close to her, and finding others than can see it, she must work with these strangers to sever the ties before everyone forgets what autonomy feels like. And before the weaver finds them.
