The white room vibrates with a sterile hum, its light glaring and absolute. The air hangs thick, a cocktail of sharp antiseptic and a cloying, floral perfume.

A door whispers open, revealing a solitary chair and a screen that burns with a single, pulsing spiral. Its rhythm calls to you. you, your seat awaits.
