Rain lashed against my studio window that Tuesday evening, mirroring the storm of browser tabs devouring my screen - quantum computing theories bleeding into climate models while exoplanet discoveries dissolved into incoherent clickbait.

One tap, and suddenly I wasn't in my sweat-dampened sheets anymore. -
Somewhere between Albuquerque and Flagstaff, the Wi-Fi died. Not just flickered – full flatline. Outside, desert blurred into an endless beige smear while my phone became a useless glass brick. That familiar panic started creeping up my spine when I remembered: weeks ago, I'd downloaded something called KK Pusoy Dos during a midnight app-store crawl. "Big 2 Offline" promised strategic warfare without signal. Skeptical, I tapped the icon. What followed wasn't just distraction; it was a full-scale -
Rain lashed against the hospital windows as I gripped my phone, thumb raw from swiping through four different mining pool interfaces.

That's when I stabbed blindly at the cobalt icon I'd installed weeks ago -
That metallic screech of train brakes still jolts me awake at 3 AM sometimes - not the sound itself, but the memory of helplessness. There I stood, soaked from Shibuya rain, staring at a vending machine's glowing buttons while salarymen shoved past. "アツアツ" blinked cheerfully above a ramen illustration. Hot? Cold?

The cursor blinked like a mocking metronome on my blank screenplay draft. Outside, London rain smeared the café window into a watercolor abstraction matching my mental haze.
