Leo ejected the disc. The underside was pristine—no scratches, no data ring. Just a faint, greasy fingerprint that wasn’t his.
The shot rang out. The hostage crumpled. The game displayed a single line of text: Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex -Wii--PAL--R...

He slid the disc into his launch-day Wii, the blue slot light pulsing like a sedated heartbeat. The console whirred, then coughed. The usual Health & Safety screen appeared, but the text was wrong. Instead of “read the manual,” it read: YOU WILL REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
