Towards the end of the 21st century, Biotech has become a powerful science and the main area of growth in the economy. Startups sprout like mushrooms and change human life, and indeed what it means to be human, in unpredictable and interesting ways. The world will never bee the same after Empathics, Ltd. makes everyone's emotions readily visible.
It's late 21st century but some things don't change too much. Laura and Amanda are two postgraduate students who share a room. Amanda is irresistibly atracted to Laura, who is too socially oblivious to realise what is going on. This is the start of their relationship, but by no means the end, as their lives will remain entwined.
After Amanda gave Laura a foot massage, their relationship keeps evolving. Once roommates, Amanda will become much closer to Laura, ensnared by her attraction. She has taken her first steps in the road to serfdom, and there are few chances to turn back.
