Amidst this chaos, MainFrame emerges as a beacon of hope, offering a tantalizing promise of digital afterlife for a steep price. To access this elusive sanctuary, a Digital Signature—or more commonly called a “Soul”—must be transferred to MainFrame's server. A task entrusted to Couriers, enhanced runners equipped with Receptacles capable of gathering the digital signatures. Couriers race against each other in a cutthroat competition to secure Souls, often resorting to any means necessary, and all within the stringent time limit of 21 minutes. But there is a catch,each use of the Receptacle cost the Couriers their own memories....
