You wake up. The world is still there. But something feels… off. Something has shut down. Not outside. Inside. It is not war. It is not artificial intelligence. It is you. Humanity—a system that no longer believes in itself. While we eat plastic food, stay silent in the face of injustice, drink bottled water, and whisper, “it will last for my time”—the system quietly scans us: who we are, what we have become…and whether there is still a chance.
