Severance

None. A surgical procedure that partitions memory between work and home.

Sort numbers that feel wrong, on a terminal, in a windowless basement, forever. The innie has no life outside the task — the work is not part of the day, it is the entire existence.

Assigned meaning — A system hands you a purpose, and it is sufficient.

No AI in it. Belongs here anyway: it is the cleanest available model of a self that exists only to work.
