The doctor looked at him with a chilling, thin-lipped smile. "Oh, no. You passed. You took the diamond to save your 'partner' Sarah, who doesn't exist. It showed empathy. You’re free to go."

The man sighed and tapped the air. The vault walls dissolved into a sterile, white laboratory. Elias looked down; he wasn't wearing his tactical gear. He was in a hospital gown, wires snaking from his temples to a massive, humming machine labeled .

"I’m out," Elias whispered, tucking the gem into a velvet-lined pocket.

"Wait," Sarah said, her voice dropping an octave. "Something’s wrong. The sensors... they aren't coming back on." The doctor looked at him with a chilling, thin-lipped smile

"Seven minutes, Elias," a voice crackled in his earpiece. It was Sarah, his handler, watching the thermal feeds from a safe house three miles away. "The perimeter guards reset their patrol at 02:07.

"Elias, if you can hear this, don't stop driving," the doctor’s voice broadcasted through the speakers. "We didn't pull you out. They did. The simulation didn't end. We just hit Level 7. The lab you just left? That was the simulation's way of keeping you calm while the harvest began." Elias looked at the diamond in his hand. It began to glow.
