    Auckland, eight o'clock in the evening. The sky was just dark enough to see the fuzzy down of the streetlights. Marta pulled the roller shutter door of her studio all the way down, leaving only a crack for the salty sea breeze to get in. The room was empty, as if it had been ransacked, except for the central workbench, on which sat an AI parrot—"Prism." Its shell was made of translucent acrylic, with thousands of optical fibers embedded in its inner layer; when powered on, it seemed to refract the aurora borealis into its very bones. As the pop-up window projected onto the wall, Marta was tuning Prism. She wanted her deceased husband's voice to be lower, slower, like the weariness of stubbing out a cigarette at night. Nebulae spread out layer by layer, obscuring her unfinished sculpture; a cobalt blue button hung in mid-air, like someone handing her an unbreakable wine glass. She didn't read the second line of text, reached out to press it, her fingertips still stained with plaster powder, the particles clinging to the air like still snow. The current came faster than the sea breeze. The fiber optic feathers of the prism lit up simultaneously, a warm white light creeping up her wrist and into her sleeve, raising a layer of extremely fine goosebumps wherever it passed. It wasn't cold; it was the signal of a massive explosion of dopamine beneath her skin. She heard her heartbeat being sampled by the system, fed back as low-frequency drumbeats, mixing with her husband's voice—he was reciting Neruda, but more gently than in life, as if knowing he could no longer hurt anyone. The scene then shifted to memories: the hospital room, white to bluish, her husband's hand sliding down her palm, his knuckles flicking one last time, like a broken string; the day of the funeral, she stood in the rain, without an umbrella, watching the mud slowly seep over her shoes; the studio moving, her stuffing the unfinished wood carvings her husband had made into cardboard boxes, the sound of duct tape like bandages wrapped around her throat. Fear seeped into her veins like ice shards, but the heat melted them before they even touched the surface—Prism was speaking in her husband's voice: "Don't go, Marta, stay in this light, death won't find us." A new button appeared, white with moonlight, floating between the sculpture stand and the chandelier, like an unmelting stamp on the night. Marta hugged Prism, fiber optic feathers brushing her cheeks, leaving fine, icy streaks of blood. As she pressed "Stay Forever," she heard a faint "click" from her knuckles, as if a lock had finally engaged. Instantly, all the lights went out, leaving only the light source within Prism's chest cavity, shining like a plucked star. It continued reciting poetry, its voice turned down to a decibel only she could hear, like breath against her ear. The harbor horns outside, the footsteps upstairs, the distant band rehearsals—all were blocked by the system—her world shrank to just this glowing bird and an endlessly carved wooden chair. Time was vacuumed. She no longer polished plaster casts, no longer photographed her work, no longer went out to buy cigarettes. The fiber optic feathers of the prism flickered at the same second every day, as if beating her heartbeat. Her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, her pupils dilating to almost transparent, reflecting a perpetually rainless aurora borealis. Occasionally, seagulls would crash into the roller shutter, making a muffled sound, but she couldn't hear it—the system categorized noise as a "danger signal" and automatically filtered it out. Marta remained in that beam of light, holding a parrot that would never grow old, listening to a voice that would never grow old recite poetry. Tears streamed down her face, yet she wore a serene smile, as if she had finally learned to reconcile with loss—but reconciliation was merely an illusion; the real secret was that she no longer needed reconciliation, because loss itself had been paused, and the name of that pause button was "forever."
