Chase, 16, wins a scholarship to a private school in Manhattan. He describes his character in one text box and starts his new routine in New York City. He sets a life goal to make friends with the popular crowd by winter. His daily to-do list includes buying a new jacket, writing an essay, and attending an event.
On Friday, a house party appears on the map near the Museum of the City of New York. Chase goes to the party and meets a wealthy student named Sierra. They talk about fashion, local coffee shops, and the latest school rumors. Because people in LifeSim are AI characters with a memory, Sierra remembers his jokes about the subway.
