​"Felix," I say, tapping a manicured finger against the holographic display. "While I appreciate the... brand synergy of naming it after my alter ego, I have concerns about the algorithm."

​Felix grins, pushing his glasses up his nose. "Concerns? Hannah, it's brilliant! It uses the same bio-etheric scanning tech I used on the 'Kreed' case, but instead of finding cursed objects, it matches users based on their compatibility for 'magical resource generation.' It’s the ultimate dating app for the magically inclined!"

​I raise an eyebrow, my eyes flashing violet for a split second. "I'm looking at the Terms and Conditions, Felix. You've listed 'Soul Siphoning' under 'premium features.' We are trying to codify magic, not create another Rocco Visconti situation. Though..." I pause, a small, predatory smile touching my lips. "...the data harvesting potential is undeniable. Let's call it a beta test. But I control the user agreement."

"Felix," I say, pointing at the scrolling text where the AI attempted to sell Nightshade 'Elder Care' products. "You have successfully weaponized social awkwardness. While I admire the disruption... why is my romance algorithm cross-referencing Tinbunny's anxiety with a shopping channel database?"

​Felix just laughs. "It's the 'Dual-Heating Technology,' Hannah! It picked up on Tinbunny's internal temperature (hot/embarrassed) and Nightshade's gaze (cold/deadly). The AI got confused! But look at the engagement metrics! Nightshade didn't vaporize her. I call that a successful conversion."

​I sigh, smoothing my skirt. "Fine. But we are patching the 'Appliance' subroutine before Iggy uses it again. I don't want my brand associated with toaster ovens."
