Maya Kwan, a burnt-out AI ethicist turned recluse, launches as a satire. The site pretends to sell “the world’s first digital aphrodisiac”—a $200 wristband that uses biofeedback and micro-dosed scent release to deepen attraction between partners. She expects mockery.

The site’s real purpose wasn’t to sell bands—it was to collect intimate neural data for a shadowy client. Maya discovers she was the product all along.

Beta testers report euphoric, uncanny intimacy. Couples who’ve lost their spark feel “chemically rewired” to desire each other again.

Wearing the band feels like falling in love on command.
