This was meant to be a short story, but that didn't really end up being the case.

This was a story I've actually had in my mind for a few months now! I think the idea was conceived between me and a friend back in, November of last year? We were just sharing some images made by the AI and I shared the ref image for Antonio (found in the link below). After that things sort of cascaded and I wrote this out! I do have to credit my friend  ponky-kong for the idea though. I'm really proud at how it came out!

Also I really love wrong number triggers and I really should find a way to use them more...
