“Three hours,” the Warden’s voice crackled. “Solve the puzzle. Earn your freedom. Or don’t.”
“That one’s different,” the Warden said. “To open it, you don’t remember something. You forget something. Choose.”

The cold floor bit through your bare knees. A holographic countdown hovered above the glass cage: .
Leo : your brother’s laugh, the day he taught you to ride a bike. Another door. Another ring.
“Anything. The face of your mother. The sound of Leo’s voice. Or this cage, and every attempt you’ve made to leave it.” The dog : wet nose, cold tile, unconditional love
You didn’t remember the cage. But your scar— RUN —finally stopped aching.
“Fair is for people who already have freedom,” the Warden replied.
Your throat tightened. “Forget what?” Earn your freedom

The mirror cracked. The sphere dissolved. The glass cage shattered like sugar.
