CODEX
tw (imprisonment, parental death)
It is upon Aite’s arrival that her father damns himself. Affectum is supposed to be their future. The company was built to grow with technological advancements. Affectum originally coined itself as using diagnostic software in a microchip with the means to fix issues from within. Over time, this changes. It is with her father’s knowledge that it instead is used as a recording device. The chips began to replicate and copy over the exact make-up of programs, which allowed Affectum’s developers to later sell off the stolen ideas of smaller companies. Damnation slips between her father’s ribs like a knife. The company’s own paranoia sweeps through the department, and before Aite’s father can reason with them for the grounds for his departure, they create a scapegoat out of him. The information on Affectum’s wrongdoings is attributed only to Aite’s father, and he is left, knife through the back.
Aite is twelve years old when she says goodbye to her father for the first time. With his imprisonment, her mother changes. Aite follows suit, placing one foot in front of the other. It’s across Arcadia, Olympe, and Tartarus that Aite creates a version of herself so far removed from the one her father would recognize. At seventeen Aite says goodbye to her father for the second time. In silence, Aite has to watch the citizens of Arcadia step upon her father’s name. With his destruction, Aite builds herself into something new. What happens to a connection when severed? Well, one would say that the wound would be susceptible to infection – but what happens when that festering breeds something else? Something deeply rooted under the guise of justice, that Aite deludes herself into thinking is attainable.
The Aite that is known with hair down her back and ruby painted lips is so far removed from that of the child I remember stumbling after her father as he left out the door. In following her mother’s footsteps, she has used every connection to get her to where she is today. It’s Zeus’s own child, Artemis Rhea, that extends a helping hand as she steps foot in Olympe. It is from other’s perceptions of her that Aite holds the upper hand. And I would say that those around her are easily fooled. They take her for a woman whose intent is clear: fame and fortune. Only, they could not be more wrong.
At twenty-five Nagging Nemean, a pop-culture based talk show, is finally given the green light. What the public want to see is evident; a pretty girl with too much money who doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut. This plant she has built is bound to have its defects, but within these walls, it will be easier to narrow down who it was that brought her father to his untimely downfall. Aite would be ignorant to think that she would unfurl her plan without getting scathed, as there are plenty more snapping jaws hoping to sink their teeth into the downfall of another.
