The monitor cut to black, and the room went silent. When Janis's roommate came home an hour later, the computer was off and the room was empty. The only thing left behind was a faint smell of pine needles and a single, wet leaf resting on the keyboard.

The reflection wasn't of a game character. It was Janis. He was sitting in his chair, staring at the monitor, but the background behind him in the reflection wasn't his room—it was the dark, towering pines of the forest. A branch snapped loudly behind him, in his actual room. The monitor cut to black, and the room went silent
He reached for the power button on his PC, but his fingers felt like lead. The screen flickered, and the text box appeared one last time, the letters bleeding into the darkness: The screen went pitch black
Suddenly, a text box appeared at the bottom of the screen: Kāpēc tu ienāci? (Why did you enter?)

The movement was fluid, mimicking a first-person perspective with terrifying accuracy. Every time Janis moved his mouse, the camera swayed with the weight of a human head.

The camera slowly panned around, but Janis wasn't touching the mouse. It turned until it was looking directly at a reflection in a dark puddle on the forest floor.
