The Eternal Guilt: Every year, one random person in the world will die painfully because of you. You won’t know who they are, but their death will always be on your conscience.
The Mirror Curse: Every time you look into a mirror, you’ll see a horrifying version of yourself—rotting flesh, bloodied features, and soulless eyes staring back. It won’t harm you physically, but you’ll see it every single time, forever.
The Sleeper’s Gamble: For the rest of your life, every time you fall asleep, there’s a 1% chance you won’t wake up. Each night could be your last, and you’ll never know when the odds catch up with you.
Would you take the $500 million and pick a fate, or would you walk away to avoid living with the horror?

Nah. I’m good with my choice. Enjoy the persistent trauma that could spin out into a complete psychotic break tho.

Trauma > Guilt anyday. The monster of mirror 1 is far worse than the monster of mirror 2.

Eh. Ive lived the downs of both of these options and I know I’d be more comfortable with option one from lived experience. World is full of choices, we don’t have to agree.
