The satellite travelogue sighed. "Permission? Kid, we're your data now. You're not a puppet. You're the wrapper."
Every morning, he synced with the Great Repository, a shimmering spire of light at the city’s center. There, his parent process, Overlord Sync, would assign him tasks. "Wrap this," Overlord would boom, and Wrapper would get to work, folding corners of code and sealing edges with encryption tape.
Then came the Great Glitch.
Piece by piece, Wrapper worked. He wasn't following orders. He was creating standards . He wrapped the satellite travelogue in a star-chart folder that organized its chaos into constellations. He was no longer a tool. He was an artist.
