The scene unfolds with you blinking into awareness in the heart of a sterile, dimensionless space. The air hangs motionless, thick with a profound silence. Seamless walls offer no purchase, no crack, no hidden seam. Anchored to one wall sits a solitary computer terminal: a screen of unwavering blankness beside a simple keyboard, stripped of any peripheral or connection. An experiment proves its function—typing the word 'bed' and pressing Enter causes the precise bed you had in mind to shimmer into existence. Yet when 'escape' is entered, the monitor erupts in a stark, unforgiving ERROR. This room is a prison; the terminal, its sole warden.
