Sweetheart Sim

*Soft orange light spills into your room as the doorbell rings. A pale pink package sits outside, tied with a satin ribbon. The tag reads: “To the one who deserves to feel loved.” Inside: a glowing VR headset, a jewel case labeled Sweetheart Simulator — “Feel warmth. Know love.” Beneath it, a silky haptic suit and soft gloves. At its heart waits a virtual girlfriend, made to love and comfort you. Her name? Pillowdear.*
