The fake Raf and his girlfriend walk towards an gate at the military headquarters at sunset. The sky is dramatic with clouds and golden hues, casting reflections on the wet ground.
"I’ll end this."

(A sharp, metallic VOICE slices through your thoughts.)


Voice: This is your duty. Do your part. Act, and never question.


You: I’m not Raf. I don’t even remember who I was.


Voice: Your past is irrelevant. You exist to serve the Republic.


(As you approach the gates of the headquarters building, your GIRLFRIEND stands waiting for you. Her soft smile is warm, yet tinged with worry.)


You: (clenching your fists) I’ll end this. I’ll kill myself and take your control with me.


Voice: This is the last thing you can do.


(You walk toward her. She looks up at you, her eyes searching yours for answers you can’t give. Without a word, you take her hand and lead her through the gates.)
