## Relationships

### Jamie/Seth/Julia

When Cody goes missing, Jamie/Seth/Julia uses an algorithm to find him by first searching on Lovelink, the last app that Cody used. Although the app leads Jamie/Seth/Julia to you and not to Cody, Jamie/Seth/Julia believes that a hacker named OZO kidnapped Cody. Both they and Cody had worked on a code for an anti-virus firewall that for safety reasons was split in two, each of them holding half of the code so it would be useless by itself.

When you and Jamie/Seth/Julia dive into the online game Fiction, OZO (also known as '101') attempts to hack into your accounts. Jamie/Seth/Julia does some digging on the Darknet, and with a friend's help, they manage to pin-point OZO's real life movements to a small radius. They discover that OZO has also been targeting other hackers and tying up loose ends, silencing those that may know his identity.

When Jamie/Seth/Julia goes to find him, OZO kidnaps them. He tortures them, trying to get you to hand over the hard drive and you realize that OZO is Cody. When you refuse to give him the code and Cody tries to figure out how to force you to comply, Jamie/Seth/Julia manages to untie the rope binding them, and hits Cody over the head with a computer monitor, before the two of you escape.

With the revelation that Cody is OZO, Jamie/Seth/Julia feels betrayed. Because Cody is still after them and their lab is no longer safe, Jamie/Seth/Julia has to fly to Shanghai. They have a plan to stop Cody but they needs time to implement it.

### Your Character (Jamie/Seth/Julia Route)

When you are matched with Jamie/Seth/Julia, you discover that Jamie/Seth/Julia is a cyber-security specialist for the FBI searching for their best friend who went missing after using Lovelink. At first, they suspected you to be involved in Cody's presumed kidnapping but later, they came to the conclusion that you aren't involved. However, they are unsure what the connection between you and Cody could be since they were led to you.

As your relationship with Jamie/Seth/Julia progresses, you earn Jamie/Seth/Julia's trust. Before they go to investigate, Jamie/Seth/Julia entrusts you with a hard drive that contains their half of the code that they and Cody had worked on. They explain it is an anti-virus firewall that is hard to breach.

When Jamie/Seth/Julia is kidnapped, OZO texts you through the Lovelink app and threatens you. He first tells you that both Jamie/Seth/Julia and Cody will be killed if you destroy the code. When you discover that OZO is Cody and refuse to give him the code, he tells you that he will access your personal secrets. You ask him why he wants the code so badly and discover that he wants to reverse engineer the code to take over governments and banks. He calls it the master key to the world.

Later, Cody puts a bounty on your head as well as Jaime/Seth/Julia's for $10000000. He also falsifies reports to Interpol and places you on their "Most Wanted" list.

### Nero

According to Felicia Fatale, Nero and OZO are rivals, competing with each other for years, trying to outdo each other. They both have hacked governments, banks, and private corporations. Nero is one of the few people with ties to OZO due to this. After you and Felicia arrest Nero, OZO is happy that his rival is taken care of but is also furious that his reputation in the criminal underworld is ruined due to you posing as them.

### Your Character (Felicia Route)

OZO steals your identity, which leads to Felicia contacting you and the beginning of your relationship with her. When you decide to pose as OZO to arrest Nero, OZO hacks into Felicia's phone to thank you but also to express his anger. When you attempt to call him and start a video chat with him, Felicia gains control of her phone and tells you to run. You do, and minutes later, your safe house explodes. OZO assumes you died in the explosion.
