You make the difficult decision to spare the stranger, wanting to hold on to the sense of empathy and solidarity that has brought you two together in this surreal world.

But just as you choose to spare him, the stranger makes a sudden, unexpected decision of his own.

He leaps from the window, plunging to his death, and you watch in shock as the tragic event unfolds before your eyes.


As you stand there, stunned by the sudden turn of events, you hear a disembodied voice.

Congratulations.


You used your humane instincts. You spared someone who took your life.



What a shame that your choices don't matter.







------------
You wake up in your room, the same room that has been your entire life.

It's a barren space with nothing more than a bed and a wooden desk, the faulty laptop your only connection to the outside world.

You try to remember what just happened, but your memory is blank.
