Chapter 14

In this chapter, Miri Gu navigates complex social dynamics surrounding her grandfather Robert, who struggles with cognitive decline after being medically revived. She connects with a diverse group of peers, including Jin and a mysterious little girl avatar, to explore possible interventions like just-in-time training (JITT) and social reintegration strategies. The chapter culminates with Miri seeking academic support for Robert by linking him to graduate students and a literature student, Zulfikar Sharif, who is in need of a thesis topic, setting the stage for collaboration.
