okay, i think this was such so much all at once and also not a lot that i didn't vibe. the events that take place in this were apparently only in one week, but i could have sworn it felt longer but also shorter at the same time??? i don't even know how to explain it. for me, i started losing interest once AO met DNA, and then the fact that it became a romantic subplot between the two, i was just like "wtf??"

i liked how AO could like use her non organic/machine parts to like connect to the other machines and shut them down and see through all the cameras, and i honestly feel like if it had just been her and not DNA going on this journey, i may have had a better time.
