When Dr. Lester Usole attends an event at AI developer Carnificiality, he's introduced to Beauties: artificial beings designed to provide tailored sexual experiences for their human owners. Lester isn't interested in sex—but he is fascinated by Ira, a Beauty too violent to be sold.
Lester convinces Carnificiality to give Ira to him. Lester has always wanted the chance to work with an adult AI, and around Lester, Ira isn't violent. He's strangely innocent, uncannily perceptive, and his company does much to ease Lester's loneliness. Except something's not quite right: Ira roams at night, even when Lester's sure he's locked Ira's door.
Soon Lester is certain of only one thing: Ira has a secret. Something that will link their pasts and change the course of their future—if Lester is willing to face what's on the inside.
A 20,000 word story, originally published in the anthology All in Fear.
