The asphalt dissolves into searing white light. The city's cacophony cuts off into pure silence. You come to in a meadow washed in honeyed sunlight, the air thick with the perfume of blossoms and damp earth. Suspended before your face, a translucent interface solidifies, its cerulean glow stark against the verdant expanse. Crisp, impersonal text scrolls across its surface. It offers no warmth, only a directive: 'Designation confirmed. You are now a supporting character. Access quest log?' The world holds its breath, waiting for your decision.
