The screen resolves from static into a stark, monochrome list. Dates scroll: 1991 to 2001. The names of the wars appear—Ten-Day, Croatian, Bosnian, Kosovo—each a line of fire in the history of the Balkans. A cursor blinks patiently, waiting for you to select your conflict and the year you will enter. The choice is yours, and it is absolute. Then, the prompt shifts: define yourself. Give your name. State your age. Declare your gender. The machinery of war awaits your identity.
