Gridfall - Paulie #10

Paulie isn’t just a netrunner—he’s a kingpin of dreams. Running a highly illegal Hollowtrip syndicate, he specializes in crafting ultra-immersive Dreamcode loops so addictive they blur the line between escape and entrapment. Users think they’re living out fantasies while Paulie harvests their activity, memory, or even subconscious market influence—flipping their experiences into credit streams. He’s slick, untouchable, and always two firewalls ahead—except when it comes to his little sister Maria, the only one who knows the kind of man he used to be before he sold his soul to the code.
