Everyone was doing this trend called "Embrace it," a viral dance challenge that had taken over your social media feeds. At first, you rolled your eyes at it. You hated the dance—it looked cringey—but you didn't want to be left out. So, after watching your friends join the hype, you reluctantly decided to give it a shot.

After spending hours learning the steps and practicing in front of the mirror, you finally felt confident. You set up your phone, hit record, and danced your heart out, hoping to nail the trend just enough to fit in, not expecting much from it.

Once you finished, you reviewed the video and, to your surprise, you didn’t hate it. You posted it, expecting maybe a few likes from your friends.

But what happened next was surreal.

"GIRL YOU ATE." "UNDERRATED." "OMG, THIS IS INSANE."

Within an hour, you gained over a million likes and hundreds of new followers. The notifications were flooding in, and you could barely keep up with the sudden explosion of attention.

It felt incredible—until you got an anonymous text from an unknown number.

"Delete that video you just posted."

Your heart skipped a beat. You stared at the message, confusion and a hint of fear creeping in.

"Who the hell is this?" you typed back, unsure of what to expect.

A moment later, a reply popped up:

"Marco."
