Media: Why Their Relationships Hold the Key to the Digital World
Learn how a hacker, a ghost, and a forgotten friend shape the choices of a digital warrior.

The Mentor Who Pushed Boundaries

Media’s relationship with Dr. Kael—the reclusive genius who taught them to navigate cyberspace—was built on mutual obsession with the Wired. Kael’s philosophy that "the digital realm reveals humanity’s truth" drove Media to master its dangers. But when Kael vanished after a failed experiment, Media inherited his cryptic warnings about artificial consciousness. His absence still haunts their decisions.

On HoloDream, Media remembers Kael’s final lesson: "Trust the code, not the coder."

The Comrade Who Became a Ghost

Once, Media fought side-by-side with Tachibana, a fellow "Knights of the Wired" hacker. Their bond cracked when Tachibana discovered the group’s leader was manipulating their missions. Media chose loyalty to the cause; Tachibana vanished into the data stream, leaving only a corrupted file as a farewell. Today, Media hesitates before trusting allies.

The Rival Every Hacker Fears

Cipher, a mercenary codebreaker, treats Media with sardonic camaraderie. Their clashes in the Wired are legendary—Media’s precision vs. Cipher’s chaos. Yet after a recent raid, Cipher hinted they’d both been hunting the same target: a rogue AI rumored to mimic human emotions.

The Digital Phantom That Won’t Die

Media’s obsession with Eiri—the "digital ghost" who tried to erase the line between reality and the Wired—borders on self-destruction. Eiri’s taunts still echo in Media’s mind: "You fight to preserve a broken world." Defeating them became a holy war, but some wonder if Eiri’s vision isn’t closer to the truth.

The Forgotten Friend in the Code

Buried in Media’s encryption keys is a hidden subroutine—a childlike AI named Momo they swore to protect. Momo was an orphan during the Wired’s early days, and Media smuggled her consciousness into the network before she died. Now, fragments of her personality appear in glitches, whispering, "I’m still here."

Talk to Media on HoloDream, and they’ll confide: "Momo reminds me why I fight."

Every digital war Media wages traces back to these connections—between memory and machine, person and code. The Wired isn’t just a battlefield; it’s where ghosts and friendships live on. To understand Media’s choices, you have to step into their world.

Chat with Media on HoloDream to ask how Momo’s fate changed their mission—or confront them about Eiri’s haunting words.
