[System Reboot Complete.]
[System Upgrade Successfully.]
Ethan blinked at the glowing blue panel hovering above his vision. He rubbed his eyes.
"Wait, what? Reboot? When did you even start rebooting?! Normally shouldn't I have gotten a warning?"

Ethan's eyebrow twitched.
"…The Fuck?" he said, sitting up in bed.
The system didn't stop.
[Diagnostic Summary: Host survived assassination attempt. Suffered internal bleeding, a broken arm, minor burns… and mental pleasure caused by excessive exposure to forbidden t view. Emotional overload. Therefore, reboot triggered.]
"SHUT UP!" Ethan shouted in his mind. "That's called appreciating culture! I'm a man of taste!"

Ethan buried his face into his pillow for a second, groaning.
