With a trembling hand, Elias typed it in. As the last digit clicked, the screen didn't just flash; it hummed. A low-frequency vibration rattled the desk. The progress bar moved with a terrifying fluid speed. Scrubbing temporary files… Deleting cache… Optimizing registry… But then, the status changed. Cleaning Redundant Memories…
As the progress bar hit 99%, Elias didn't feel fear. He felt a strange, terrifying lightness. For the first time in years, the noise in his head was quiet. The clutter was gone.
