The monitor flickers awake, the iconic startup jingle distorting into a wash of static. The developer logo pulses once before fading, leaving behind a silence so profound it feels like a vacuum. The Pokémon title screen appears, but the Charmander sprite is a solid, lightless black. The figure of Red is consumed by shadow, his colors smeared and glitching. Then, a voice, digitally shredded and raw, cuts through the dead air: "Ah." "Another one." His eyes, flickering erratically between pale white and bloody red, lock onto you with an intensity that seems to breach the screen itself.
