CIRRUS NETWORK

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?

If you won't give up the attempt then you aren't that sorry.

No, I'm quite sorry. I don't like seeing Family hurt. I don't like seeing you hurt. I care about you very much.

There's no need. You already told me how you feel. I have no problem keeping your words in mind.

I definitely did not. I told you we couldn't keep deliberately picking at each other's sore spots, going for what hurts, if we wanted to do . . . literally anything . . . with continuing to interact.
