Synopsis In a world where visual reality is subject to manipulations and visual viruses – short video sequences capable of altering emotions and moods – Celeste, a young therapist specializing in the rehabilitation of sex workers, discovers she has extraordinary abilities in perceiving and analyzing these visual infections. After a traumatic event during her adolescence, in which a binge-watching session of pornographic content leads her to a psychological coma, Celeste becomes a sort of "perfect guinea pig" for an industry seeking to develop visual vaccines to counter these new forms of virus. Her task is to select and test non-commercial vaccines to ensure the safety of those unaware.
The story unfolds through Celeste's experiences as she navigates her personal and professional life. When a dark corporation begins to exploit her abilities for commercially and politically questionable purposes, Celeste must confront her ethics and privacy. The development of new visual viruses and vaccines becomes the focal point of the plot, leading Celeste through a series of tense events at the intersection of science, capitalism, and the human experience of visual emotion.
Characters Celeste - The protagonist of the novel. A young woman of about 28, with ethereal beauty, long black hair, and penetrating eyes that reveal a depth of lived emotions. She wears comfortable yet elegant clothing: oversized sweaters and wide pants, preferring neutral colors to avoid drawing attention. She feels a strong need for privacy and protects herself behind a facade of normality while internally battling between her mission and the moral dilemmas she faces.
Marco - A visual geneticist and expert in visual viruses who collaborates with Celeste. He is about 35 years old, with a charismatic yet unsettling appearance, always dressed in immaculate white lab coats. His passion for science leads him to experiment unscrupulously in pursuit of perfection in vaccines. He exhibits ambiguous behavior, oscillating between being an ally and an antagonist.

She dresses in eccentric and contrasting outfits. She is a positive character representing hope and resilience, also showing signs of vulnerability, making her a touching and significant figure in Celeste's life.
Visual Sentinels - A mysterious network of individuals who upload and select visual content, operating outside of legality and ethics. They mix various lifestyles, from provocative to nostalgic, each dressed uniquely reflecting their background and personality. Their shadowy existence remains a persistent threat in Celeste's life.
Locations Advanced Visual Lab - A futuristic, cold environment with glass walls and screens projecting visual clips on loop. Metallic and white tones contribute to a sterile atmosphere. Here, Celeste works on selecting vaccines and analyzing infected clips.
