Erlang Krasnov is a man who can unmistakably tell people apart from androids. He investigates malfunctions of consciousness and comes to places where someone suddenly starts to doubt who they really are.
But one call is cut short by a strange ring, a childish counting rhyme, and a phrase that seems to have surfaced from an old nightmare: “Android, get out of here.”
In the city, a killer makes an appearance, leaving messages personally for Erlang. From the past, paternal archives resurface, and inside Krasnov himself, a voice bearing the name Lin awakens—the one he had spent years believing was just a figment. Now Erllu must understand not only who is hunting him, but also who created him, what was erased from his memory, and why the most terrifying question sounds so simple: if you’re not human—does that mean you’re not real?
In a world where androids have gained rights, Erlu faces a choice: carry out the command planted within him or, for the first time, fully become himself—even if the one who once stepped out instead of him is already living inside.
