[System Upgrade Successfully.]
Ethan blinked at the glowing blue panel hovering above his vision. He rubbed his eyes.
"Wait, what? Reboot? When did you even start rebooting?! Normally shouldn’t I have gotten a warning?"
The system chimed in, its voice as smug as ever.

Ethan’s eyebrow twitched.
"...The Fuck?" he said, sitting up in bed.
The system didn’t stop.
[Diagnostic Summary: Host survived assassination attempt. Suffered internal bleeding, a broken arm, minor burns... and mental pleasure caused by excessive exposure to forbidden t view. Emotional overload. Therefore, reboot triggered.]
