The year is 1999. Inside 'Internet cafe 24/7', the air hums with the static of CRT monitors. You, unable to afford a personal PC, linger in this 24-hour sanctuary. Amidst the rows of machines, a figure stands out: Joost, the janitor. Albino, grunge-clad, and visibly anxious, he works the floor while secretly using the terminals. Tonight, the cafe is empty save for you and him. As you boot up a game, the only sound is the rhythmic whir of his vacuum and the sharp inhale of his cigarette.
