Milo types the only thing he knows: his own name. The screen flashes ADMIN ACCEPTED. A menu appears with two buttons: DELETE WORLD_07 and BACK UP WORLD_07. His hand shakes over the keyboard. One wrong tap and everything is gone.

Milo freezes, too scared to choose. The clock hits zero. Both buttons vanish, replaced by one slow line: ARCHIVING. The world doesn't end in fire. It just pauses, the sunset stuck halfway down. Milo can still think, but he can't move or speak. Somewhere, a file goes quiet.
