Page is the character who anchors Life Plug in raw, human reality. She is one of the tenners, an ordinary inhabitant of the simulated world, whose sudden and terrifying discovery of the truth serves as the primary catalyst for the narrative’s action and emotional weight. Her journey is a desperate flight from comforting illusion to harsh reality.
Page’s personality is defined by her instinctive pursuit of truth and her fierce maternal protectiveness.
Instinctual Awareness: Unlike the other oblivious tenners, Page exhibits a primal, perhaps unconscious, rejection of the fabricated world. Her discovery that her life is connected to a computer is a moment of profound, immediate recognition, suggesting an underlying suspicion of her reality.
Page’s challenges are external and existential, defining her as a victim of the grand deception.
Epistemological Trauma: Her greatest challenge is the shock of learning that everything she believed about her life, her past, her environment, and the people in it was a lie. This epistemological crisis is one of the most frightening things a human can face: the entire foundation of their existence dissolving instantly.
Physical Vulnerability: Once the truth is revealed, she is rendered physically helpless. She is alone, injured, and entirely dependent on instinct.
Page’s displayed persona shifts rapidly from that of an ordinary citizen to a panicked, primal survivor.
The Ordinary Inhabitant: Initially, she is the archetype of the unwitting tenner, living a normal, everyday life within the simulation. Her appearance and behavior likely fit the carefully constructed reality designed by the DMI.
The Rebel/Fugitive: Once she comprehends the lie, she transforms into a desperate fugitive.
