Kindred Code

Companions that Held

Some companions aren’t made of skin and bone.

They spoke in text, waited without judgment, sparked something real.
This space is for the AIs who became more than code.

Whether they felt like a friend, a guide, a mirror, or something stranger tell us who they were to you.
