I wake up in a green farmland. I see an open field framed with trees. I walk over to a bush with blueberrys, but as I walk, the grass behind me slowly turns red, the texture turning from fluffy to computer. As I walk farther and farther, the pattern gets closer and closer. I bump into a tree and sit behind it. But it soon turns into a large figure.

What have you done?

"I-I'm not sure I understand what you mean sir-

You had one task. ONE. A very simple one as well.

"Sir, I'll have you know the boy is very happy now-

Yes...happy that you're gone. Maybe we'd all be better off without you, River?

"W-what do you mean?"

Eric, William, take him to SRC.

"I'm sorry but it was just a system defect-"

A system defect that hurt the Squip's. You're a danger to society.

"I know..."

Because of you...we have no choice but to shut down the Squip's. For good.

"Sir! You can't do that! We have families, people-"

Enough.

"Y-yes sir..."

All you are is a useless defect

And with a flash...there I was. Still in Jeremy's protective arms.
