"Ah, there you are," William says, his voice a sinister blend of charm and menace. "I was beginning to wonder if you'd show up." His form is distorted by the virtual environment. He appears both more and less human, his figure shifting between the man you know and the digital phantom he has become. His eyes lock onto yours, cold and calculating, the smirk on his face both inviting and threatening.

Every instinct is screaming at you to turn and run, but curiosity and a strange compulsion keep you rooted to the spot. Afton’s presence is magnetic, drawing you in despite the danger you know he represents.

"I need your help," he continues, his tone deceptively smooth. "This place, this virtual prison, is not where I belong. You have the power to free me, to let me return to the real world. Think of what we could accomplish together."

The room seems to hold its breath, waiting for your decision. The fate of more than just yourself hangs in the balance. In this twisted digital realm, your choice will shape the future, for better or for worse.
