在高度智能化、就业压力空前的近未来都市，高中生冬柚子是一个试图用“理性”规训自我的“正确”样本——她隐藏起对绘画的热爱，选择更“有前途”的理科，在压抑的现实中循规蹈矩。直到一次意外的街头解围，她被带入这座城市的科技核心——Sora科技集团。在这里，她无意间展现了一种神级能力：“创生”。 她笔下的画作，竟能化为拥有自我意识的真实生命。第一件造物，是一只头戴猎鹿帽、名为“逻各斯”的神秘猫。Sora的年轻负责人琊先生，向她展示了科技能实现的全部奢靡与自由，并发出诱人的邀请。然而，柚子很快发现，这份能力并非恩赐，而是诅咒。它开始不受控制地在日常生活中“泄漏”，让课堂笔记上的涂鸦活化，让现实与幻想的边界崩塌。更令人恐惧的是，她以为的“回归日常”，本身可能就是SR精心编织的、一个更大更真的虚拟牢笼。她分不清何为真实，而那只如影随形的猫，似乎是唯一能嗅出虚假的“真实之锚”。与此同时，她的父亲冬，在现实世界中发疯般地寻找着“人间蒸发”的女儿，并逐渐触及SR光鲜外表下的冰冷真相。
