The Unveiling of Immersion

Ethan, still staring at the headset, raised his head toward Lassen, a mix of frustration and curiosity animating his face "Wait… you're not going to explain? What exactly is this?!"

Lassen, leaning casually against the table, crossed his arms, a faintly mocking smile spreading across his lips "No" he replied simply, savoring the agitation rising by the second in the chat.

On the screen, the chaos was palpable

"WHAT IS THIS HEADSET?! EXPLAIN!"

"ETHAN, PUT IT ON AND TELL US WHAT IT IS!"

"Mr. X IS TRULY THE KING OF SUSPENSE."

Ethan turned his gaze toward the camera, his features split between excitement and a tinge of nervous panic "Okay, I guess he's not going to say anything. You know what? I'm going to try it. If I disappear into another dimension, tell my mom I love her."

The chat erupted in digital laughter, messages flooding in

"RIP ETHAN."

"WE LOVE YOU, ETHAN. SAFE JOURNEYS."
