"…and there’s that funny feeling of disconnect as you break the fourth wall, force information into your avatar that isn’t part of the program, that comes from outside. For just a moment the avatar circuits register doubt, confusion, a hint of self-awareness... And then you’re sitting back in the control room, scrubbing at your eyes with the palm of your hand. Someone holds a cup of water under your nose. “You didn’t finish the scenario,” says a voice, up and to the left. A cool reassuring hand on the back of your neck, another voice answering: “Leave her alone for a minute! God!” You don’t answer either of them. Your gaze is fixed on the monitors: in the test room your avatar has fallen slack, no longer receiving your commands. You sip at the water, trying to feel like yourself again. “I don’t know,” you say finally. “I don’t think it’s going to sell. Too cerebral.”"
