Niko looked at the centipede. It had stopped moving. He touched it. Plastic. A prop. Everything was a prop.

The radio crackled.

"Correct, Niko. You have reached level seven of emotional intelligence. Reward: one protein bar and the knowledge that your son watched your breakdown yesterday. He cried for twelve minutes. That clip has 89 million views. Congratulations. You are trending." Niko looked at the centipede

Niko closed his eyes. For the first time in his life, there was no camera to cry into. No mirror. No audience except the seven hollow statues around him and the invisible millions drinking his despair like holy water. Plastic

The storm raged on. The centipede lay still. And Niko Velis, beloved by no one, watched by everyone, smiled his first real smile in thirty years.
