With HOPE's new program, people are given
the opportunity to safely move their consciousness
into a "parallel world", much like the video games
in Sword Art Online, only permanent.

 There, people can hope to get a fresh start in a world
tailored to their needs and desires. At least, that's what the
pamphlet promises. Only a few people know that
the real program is a lot more sinister, and kills its patients. 

After everything he's gone through, Dan wants to
leave this universe. Phil wants him to stay.
