In a near-future metropolis called Neo-Lagos, society has embraced Neural Audio Filtersâdevices that perfect human speech by removing hesitation, vulnerability, and authentic emotion. These filters create crystalline Voice Barriers around people's throats, trapping genuine expression inside glass-like prisons. The more someone relies on filtered communication, the stronger their barrier becomes, and true connection withers.
Our protagonist, a young woman navigating this world of performative perfection, finds herself on a rooftop gardenâa rare quiet space above the city's constant hum. In a moment of courage, she removes her filter and speaks her truth: raw, imperfect, vulnerable. As she does, her Voice Barrier begins to crack, releasing warm golden energy that ripples through the air like visible sound waves.
This frequency of authenticity spreads across the city, guided by the Nommoâancient water beings from Dogon mythology who exist between authentic voices. One by one, barriers shatter, and golden threads of light connect people across distancesânot through proximity, but through genuine resonance. In sixty seconds, the city transforms from a place of isolated perfection into a web of sacred, human connection.
Society has evolved into a state of "performative connection" where all communication is filtered, curated, and perfected. People wear Neural Audio Filtersâsleek devices that automatically polish speech, remove hesitations, and optimize vocal delivery.
These filters create Voice Barriersâcrystalline energy fields around people's throats that trap authentic expression inside glass-like prisons. The more someone relies on filtered communication, the stronger their barrier becomes.
