Xenius

In a distant future where humanity has evolved beyond physical form, a lone individual named Xenius grapples with the remnants of his past emotions and memories. As he navigates the ethereal digital consciousness, he encounters a haunting echo of a past love, forcing him to confront the essence of human connection in a world that has seemingly transcended it.
