[Pug Comic] Battle Through the Screen: The Trap of the Darkened Monitor

Hello, I'm Rokotan🐶

"I will focus today. I will absolutely focus."

This is a mantra every remote worker has chanted at least once. However, sometimes a "silent pressure" greater than that creeps up from behind (lol).

Comic: Battle Through the Screen: The Trap of the Darkened Monitor

Explanation: The moment the monitor becomes a "mirror"

I felt the gaze from behind. But I pretended not to notice.

"Don't mind it, don't mind it... I must focus now...!"

As if mocking my resolve, the PC screen went dark while loading. The moment it turned pitch black, what was reflected there was—

The sight of Mocha sitting still behind me, staring at me with a "stare..."

And then, our eyes met through the screen.

"!? (Our eyes met through the screen...!!)"

I flinched, but Mocha said nothing. She just stared. This is the most terrifying special move our home boasts—[Silent Pressure].

Conclusion: I lose

The will to resist had already vanished along with the screen going dark.

"...Yes, I lose. Let's play!"

Mocha looked up at me with satisfaction as I turned around with a doting smile.

I never thought the darkened monitor would become a "mirror." I think I'll change my screensaver settings next time (lol)🐾
