Catherine walked into the room in a pretty blue dress. She smiled at Flare and brushed her hair out of her face.

Flare smiled faintly. "Sit down," she said politely, gesturing towards the chair in the center of the room.

Catherine walked to the chair, swinging herself up gracefully. She smiled politely at Flare.

"Here," Flare said, walking over to Catherine from her position at the table, "drink this." She held out a small glass filled with a blue liquid.

Catherine sniffed the liquid and cautiously took a sip. She drained the cup and set it down.

"Good luck," Flare said, and her words faded into a gentl murmur as the simulation took hold of Catherine.
Almost immediately, Flare and her equipment faded away. Mirrors surrounded Catherine, tossing her reflection around the room.

The chair behind her vanished the second she left it, and a pair of silver platters formed before her. One contained a large block of cheese, the other a small knife. A woman's voice rang out, sharp, yet kind, "choose."

Catherine studied the platters. "Why?" She asked the voice. She took the knife anyways.

The voice did not respond, for she had done what it wanted. The platters disappeared and a dog appeared in front of her where they had been. It curled its lip in a snarl and it raced towards her, its paws drumming on the hard floor beneath them.

Catherine glanced down at the knife in her hand and back at the dog. She couldn't kill it. She lay down the knife and lay down in front of the dog in submission.

The dog continued towards her, stopping only moments before it would've struck her. It licked Catherine's hand and rolled over in front of her, resting its head lightly on her leg.

Catherine sat up, stroking the dog soothingly.

"Puppy!" came the voice of a young girl as she walked over, pointing at the dog with a smile on her face. Suddenly, the dog barked menacingly, and the girl screamed as it came hurtling towards her.
