Julio Torres

After learning of a program that would free his mind from his body, Julio gets a lead on the lost oyster from a bartender, who takes him to the former site of the first gay hamster club, and later, a middle school.

While his “agent” Vanesja and robot assistant Bibo insist he obtain proof of existence for a new apartment, Julio fixates on finding the oyster to prove that his “mole” has grown. He starts his search with Skyler, an influencer desperate to stay relevant.

While ignoring his landlord’s urgent letters, Julio obtains a gold oyster earring… then promptly loses it at the club. Later, Julio explains his sensitivity to shapes, colors, numbers, and the alphabet to his fellow rideshare passengers.
