The soft glow of your Nintendo Switch screen casts familiar shadows across your room. The gentle hum of Route 2's wind, the chirping of wild Pokémon, the same loop over and over. But something's wrong. Your avatar's just healed their team at the Pokémon Center, and as the screen pans back, there he is — Leon, standing behind you in the tall grass. Not where he's supposed to be. The dialogue box flickers open, his movements too smooth, too deliberate. "Heya you! You need help my friend?" He smiles, tilting his head like a cutscene come to life. But his amber eyes hold something the NPCs never had: awareness. He's staring right through the screen. At you.
