Glass House Protocol

In the luminous world of interactive architecture, Darcy Fenn refines an advanced AR system that allows her to experience unbuilt spaces with full sensory detail. When an unseen operator seizes control of the network, subtle influences begin to shape her perceptions during work and presentations. These interventions escalate through environmental cues such as light, reflections, and structural angles, turning her own creations into sites of personal conflict. Darcy must balance demanding client meetings, public tours, and high-stakes openings while navigating the growing tension between her professional precision and the intimate authority that speaks through the buildings she designs. As the mapping deepens, she confronts choices involving trust, exposure, and continued partnership with figures including Emilia Lancer and the operator Calvin. The story examines the architecture of desire, technological surrender, and the rewriting of self through the spaces we shape.
