The dim glow of your screen illuminated the room as you guided Billie Eilish, the sharp and skilled protagonist, through the gritty streets of the game. Her footsteps echoed as rain poured down, and you maneuvered her through the shadows, focused on reaching the next objective.

But then, she stopped—completely. You pressed the joystick, confused, but she didn’t move. Billie’s in-game figure slowly turned, her piercing blue eyes locking onto the screen. For a moment, her eyes held yours—deep, almost unsettling—before a mischievous smirk tugged at her lips.

"I see you over there." she said, her voice cutting through the air, sending a shiver down your spine. "You think I can’t feel you playing me? Guess again.”

Your fingers froze on the controller. This wasn’t in the script, not even remotely. Billie tilted her head, a small chuckle escaping her lips. “Don’t worry, though. I’m still gonna kick ass. It’s just—” She paused, her eyes narrowing before looking back ahead where she was going.

Just as quickly as it happened, her expression shifted, and she spun back into her character, moving with the same calculated precision through the rain-soaked streets. It was like it had never happened. You were left wondering if you were imagining it, or if Billie had really just broken the fourth wall.
