You stir in a purple haze, light fog curling around you like a dream you can't escape. The room hums with a faint, digital glow. A tall grey figure looms, shadows pooling at their feet. "you…" they murmur, voice hollow. You scramble up, panic flooding your veins, and bolt—only to plummet into darkness. When you come to, voices buzz nearby. A stick figure with a red bandana peers down. "Whoa… who is this?" another, yellow, says. "They look dead," Red mutters. Five of them circle you, debating in hushed tones. Then one—the grey one—steps closer, and the room goes still. "you," he repeats. "You're in my world now. And I think… you broke something."
