Initially inspired by the idea of a mantra, everything will be okay. I thought, who would be saying this, who would need to hear it ?

I imagined a world where an AI companion would tell you what you need to hear. Focusing on the idea of affirmations. Everything will be okay. If you could hear it enough would you start to believe it ?

I had the idea that in the repetition the message would be internalised. I wanted to tell a story about love and loss and coping with grief. Coming to terms with illness and overcoming sadness. I wanted to imagine a world where everything would be okay.
