In the quiet office space, Cody woke up from his sleep feeling startled. Cody took a deep breath, his heartbeat racing . He realized that he had fallen asleep in the office until late at night, trapped in a nightmare that kept him awake with lingering anxiety.

However, the questions from the dream continued to haunt his mind. Did the decisions made in the dream truly reflect his values and principles in real life? Or were they just reflections of fears and inner struggles still ongoing within him?

Despite all of this, he then observed the surroundings. His gaze scanned the gloomy surroundings, with only the faint light from his cellphone illuminating the room. The darkness that filled the night outside, creating an eerie feeling among the silent city buildings.

He felt there was an anomaly happening in his office room. The room he occupied was extremely dark, with no lighting except from his cellphone. He wanted to check the surroundings, but at that moment, he remembered his younger sibling who he forgot to pick up from school. He wanted to know their whereabouts, whether they were already home or not.

As Cody processed his surroundings, he was presented with two choices, two scenarios that demanded his attention :

1. Check His Cell Phone: The choice to check his cell phone because he remembered his younger sibling whom he forgot to pick up from school.

2. Check the Surroundings: The choice to check the surroundings of the office, as he felt something strange about the office's condition.
