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 presses BACK UP WORLD_07. A green bar slowly crawls across the screen. The sky outside steadies, the glitching stops, and the sunset finally finishes setting. A new message appears: BACKUP COMPLETE. WORLD_07 PRESERVED. Milo sinks to the ground, laughing and shaking. He saved everyone, and nobody else will ever know.
