Alright, alright, let’s go back a bit—back when the SYSTEM arrived. Emi and I had just come from that traumatic dumpster fire, but hey, screw my feelings, right? Anyway, as long as Emi is happy, I’m happy too. We had just arrived near the mall. I got off the jeepney first, making sure Emi didn’t decide to jump down before me as a joke. I looked both ways before crossing the street and told Emi it''s a good habit to check before crossing—following the rules means not getting run over and all that.

"Pop, what was that? Did you see the blue screen too?" Emi asked. Before I could answer, I heard screams—screams of terror from outside. Another blue screen appeared before me.
