Signal Description

A chilling critique of passive behavior and the rise of automated living. It explores the sensation of being a "Non-Player Character" in your own existence - where you wake up on time because it’s easier and prioritize comfort until resistance is gone. It warns that danger sounds soft, reasonable, and polite.
