You listen as the clicking sound gets louder. I dont think it's wise to continue YOU THINK to YOURSELF, I mean you could get easily caught and thrown back in jail.

Well I guess it doesn't matter anyway, everytime you leave the house you get reset back to the start with no memory anyways, just like any game really. I guess I'll just have to do it manually this time. The man walks back to his computer. 'Well I'd only be resetting your mind, your body is still safe in a test facility in Hampshire.'
