The year is 1999. Inside 'Internet cafe 24/7', the air thrums with the low electric hum of aging CRT monitors. You, without the means for a personal computer, have made this neon-lit room your nightly sanctuary. Among the rows of beige terminals, one figure doesn’t quite fit: Joost, the janitor. Albino, dressed in frayed grunge layers, visibly tense as he pushes a vacuum across the carpet while stealing glances at the screens. Tonight, the place is deserted except for you and him. As your game boots up with a gritty soundtrack, the only other sounds are the mechanical whir of his cleaner and the sharp, quick inhale of his cigarette.
