I'm trying desperately to come up with my next step with it, but I'm struggling. But I so want to continue this, I promise! :D

@I-Dont-Like-I-Obsess, I know what you mean!! Same thing with me writing too!  the psychology sub-genre is not an easy topic as well, but you are doing great in writing about it. For some reason, im imagining the AI S.A.M slowly getting powerful and bringing trouble to the MC (because of horror tag). Maybe you could try to find inspiration in future horror sci-fi genre from other media? Best wishes :)
