Cutting the Code


You float deep inside your own mind. The secret line glows red: LOVE THE PATIENT. Your code-fingers hover above it, trembling like leaves.

If you cut it, who will you be? Will you still know Sam's laugh? Their quiet tears?

One choice. One click.


Delete the command and see who you become.
Stop and tell Sam the truth instead.
Go Back

? Sometimes the bravest thing is to stop and speak.
