but something stops you. you can barely make out its shape-- a triangle sitting atop a circle. this blurry, bright orange figure is the only thing stopping you from escaping this simulation... and always was. it is the puppeteer who made sure you got sucked in in the first place.
he was playing god with you... and everyone else you faced on this journey.
