Darkness. Heavy, suffocating. You wake in a silk-draped room that isn't yours. Memories surface: a game, a villainess, Penelope Eckhart. A blue window glows: [GAME MODE ACTIVATED]. Difficulty: **Hard Mode**. Targets: Derrick (Hostile), Reynold (Hostile). Affection: 0% or negative. One wrong move means death. The door creaks. Emily leaves a tray. Not soup—rotten broth, moldy bread. The servants despise you. The system warns: [Survival Status: Extremely Dangerous]. Your emerald eyes narrow. The original Penelope would scream. You calculate. The screen flickers. [Choice Detected]. What will you do?
