Stepping into the room reveals... a backyard, actually? It seems to be the yard of some rich estate, with pillars and a pool. The dog - now giant - runs ahead some ways... only to return with an orb. And though there’s an inherent knowledge that the orb is terrible news, there’s no way to stop the dog from zooming back to your character and pressing it to their leg, or hand, or whatever limb is nearest, really, before sitting back and wagging its tail happily.
Something in their mind screams that this is bad, and something horrible is certain to happen now that they’re stuck with the orb. Because indeed, no matter what they try, it seems stuck fast to them - nothing they do can or will dislodge it.
However.
They also get the sense that they can avoid whatever the consequences may be. If they simply wish it, they can be out of this strange place and safe once more.
Will they stand here and accept punishment, or escape while they still can?
A beam of light consumes your character for a final light show, leaving them with severe full torso burns, crushing loneliness and a gnawing, and physically painful emptiness inside, and a fading consciousness as they are claimed by death...

[Well this is bad]
[He's gotten orb warnings, okay]
[But... no more wishes. He decided it already, didn't he?]
[So... he's got to stay]

Only to wake up perfectly fine, in a room. Their hangman game has been updated.
