Hello everyone, Here's the third and—for now—final story in my "The Aurora Protocol" saga. This time, the tone is much darker and more ambiguous than the first two, as the theme shifts more to free will and the ethical issues arising from the new conditioning procedure developed by Hoshino Maki's new company. It's no coincidence that while the first two stories were partially inspired by fairy tales, this one bears some similarities to "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." I hope you enjoy it.
