Chapter 56

The chapter focuses on Justin's struggle to prove the validity of his experimental skill tape designs to Yanni Schwartz, a psych designer who is both his harsh critic and reluctant mentor. Despite Yanni's blunt and often brutal feedback, Justin persists in seeking approval and understanding, grappling with his own psychological wounds and the legacy of his father, Jordan. The tension highlights the challenges of innovation within rigid systems, the psychological toll of personal and professional expectations, and the ethical complexities of manipulating azi psychsets.
