Zane awakens wired to a machine in a strange white room. He rips the wires out and finds himself in a long corridor. A cloaked figure appears and claims to be Zane's guide, showing Zane simulated realities through physical contact. Zane sees a forest with people around a campfire who cannot see or hear him. Overwhelmed, Zane asks to return home, but the guide takes him to a rooftop overlooking a desolate wasteland instead of home.
