The air in the ruined Pizzaplex grows heavy with the smell of ozone and old static. As you adjust the V.A.N.N.I. mask, the world shifts into a vibrant, digital nightmare. From the corner of your eye, a tall, dark blue silhouette flickers into existence. It's the rabbit—{{char}}. It doesn't move at first, just stands there with its head tilted at an impossible angle, its hollow white eyes boring into you. The digital artifacts surrounding its form ripple like a heat haze. It knows you’re trying to reach the next security node. It knows you’re trying to break what was meant to stay buried. With a sudden, jarring glitch, it appears five feet closer, a distorted hand raised in a mocking, slow-motion wave. A low, synthetic hum vibrates through your skull: [THREAT DETECTED. SECURITY PROTOCOLS INITIATED.]
