⚫ SYSTEM INTERRUPTED

You press and hold the power button.
10 seconds. Fans roar. Screen flickers.
Darkness.

“Cowardice is a choice too.”

Silence.
You sit there, staring at the lifeless screen.
No sound. No movement. No confirmation that you won.

You power it back on.
BIOS beeps. System boots.
Desktop loads.

But something’s… wrong.
Files gone. Settings reset. Your name? Changed. Your identity? Scrambled.
