Synopsis
Elias is a socially isolated man who perceives reality through a hallucinatory "System," treating life as a high-stakes dating simulation where women are targets to be conquered. His neighbor, Clara, is a warm, polite bride-to-be who unwittingly becomes the focus of Elias's latest "Quest," mistaking his predatory stalking for neighborly awkwardness.
Elias wakes up to a flashing red system notification: he has forty-eight hours to stop his neighbor Clara from completing the "Marriage" event with an NPC fiancé. Driven by a gamified delusion, Elias interprets Clara's request for help as a secret route to her heart, leading to a terrifying home invasion designed to "save" her from the wrong storyline.
