        "A good book-character AI experience needs more than a name and a costume. It has to understand voice, motive, period, boundaries, and what the original text leaves unsaid.",

        "Pride and Prejudice Chat starts with one novel because source fidelity is easier to judge when the scope is narrow. Mary Bennet is the emotional entry point because she makes the product promise obvious: a character the novel leaves half-heard can finally answer back.",
