[On the way to the laser tag arena, your character may just notice a small dog running in through the doors. It looks... suspiciously like the lobby dog, except much tinier? Huh!
They can continue into the laser tag arena or return to the rest of the arcade.]
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...

Wonder why this one is a one way door?
But ah, no matter.
There is still laser tag. ]

Re: Arcade
Zhongli remembers that dog. He also remembers how SensitIV! fared in lobby quest.
Further into laser tag he goes. ]

Re: Arcade
Why is your ideal world full of accepting punishment???
But yes.
He's going to. ]

They don’t have to wait long.

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