ASTRID got out of the flying taxi that stopped in front of the Polaris building. He hailed the taxi from a ride-hailing service. He chose one that was driven by an AI robot instead of a human. This way, he didn't have to cover himself to go out.
Not to be narcissistic or something, but he had a feeling that after the release of the EMMA perfume ad, more people would recognize him. And even if they didn't recognize him, if they saw the billboards spread across the capital, they would immediately know who he was.
One evidence was the increase of his [Cyberspace] followers. Just after the release of the ad, his followers had increased by more than a million. And that's only after one night. He would probably surpass 10 million within the following week. And for a newcomer who only started his career a few months ago, that's definitely a lot.
