In the Metaverse, No One Knows the Dead Better than Feeni Xo

The story is set on alternate Earth and follows the life of Feeni Xo, a teenage enhuman girl who wants to become an investigative forensic coroner. Similar to vampires, “enhumans” need human blood for sustenance but thanks to the creation of synthetic blood, don’t need to break enhuman laws by harming humans for survival.

One night, coming home from a party, Feeni seems to kill a young girl. Her brother, who is a police officer, helps her cover it up, but when Feeni retreats to the metaverse to play a virtual reality game that uses data from police cold cases, she discovers the dead girl in real life is actually the younger sister of her neighbor, who also happens to be a police officer.

Overwhelmed with guilt, she’s forced to help her neighbor investigate her sister’s death in a case that becomes ominous when they play the House of Oware game that’s been reprogrammed to kill every participant.

It’s so strange, seeing you crawling on your knees

It’s a shame, last time we spoke you said that you hated me

Am I deranged for hoping things won’t be the same

Nothing’s changed, the only time I feel…is when I’m in pain

 

What the hell’s got into you? The world’s got teeth and it’s bleeding you? 

Hey-Hey! Yeah, what’s new? You find something wrong with everything I do, ‘cause 

 

You love, love hating me, yeah

Just because I’m a FREAK

And I bet you’re scared you’re like me

You love, love hating me

Just because I’m a FREAK

And you’ll never understand me

 

I really don’t care, I really don’t care, I really don’t care (repeat)

 

I’m so dumb, for thinking I could get rid of you

I’m so numb, that I no longer ask why life’s so cruel 

Are you deranged for hating me ‘cause I’m not the same

You’ll never change, the only time you feel…is when I’m in pain

 

What the hell’s got into you? The world’s got teeth and it’s bleeding you? 

Hey-Hey! Yeah, what’s new? You find something wrong with everything I do, ‘cause 

 

You love, love hating me, yeah

Just because I’m a FREAK

And I bet you’re scared you’re like me

You love, love hating me

Just because I’m a FREAK

And you’ll never understand me

 

I really don’t care, I really don’t care, I really don’t care (repeat)

 

Find yourself trapped in the basement

Now who’s the entertainment (repeat)

 

Nah, nah, nah, I can’t hear you

Stop Screaming, nothing you can do (repeat)

I really don’t care, I really don’t care, I really don’t care 

 

You love, love hating me, yeah

Just because I’m a FREAK

And I bet you’re scared you’re like me

You love, love hating me

Just because I’m a FREAK

And you’ll never understand me
