You find yourselves in a surprisingly sterile room. It's entirely white, almost blindingly so. There are a few beanbag chairs to sit on, though perhaps not enough for your entire family. On one of the walls, there's a laminated poster of a wheel. At the center of the room is a table with a glass case on top. If you lift the case, you'll find a single red button. Behind a glass panel on the wall is a monitor that is currently off.

Curiously, it does not seem as though you can actually destroy anything in this room (save for a simple note by the button), regardless of how much you may try. The glass will never shatter. The poster cannot be torn into pieces. Furthermore, your blessings and powers are off and none of your personal belongings are actually on your person.

A simple note lays by the button on the table, a reminder of your directive: Will you push the button?

Obviously.

Feel free to not show up for any more productions until I get a chance to prove it.

I would love to not show up to any more productions.

Work on that, then. I'm going to go push that button.

[HE IS WALKING TOWARD THE BUTTON]

We're not done discussing!!

[ TACKLES ]

Don't think I can't tell you're just trying to eat up time until you win!

[elbows him in the FACE]

[ OW!!! HEADBUTTS HIM ]

How's trying to eat up time any worse than going straight for the button!!!

[OW!! Rolls over and punches him in the side]

Because you'd rather definitely hurt everyone in here than maybe hurt someone you care about out there!

I don't want to hurt everyone in here, but isn't it just going to happen anyway?? We can't help if someone else hits THEIR button. Getting hit twice isn't going to be that much worse than getting hurt once, is it?
