Is eternal rest a blessing, or the sweetest of prisons?
About
An arched corridor stretching endlessly over pure white water. Warm sunlight, gentle waves, and soft air. This is the 'Paradise of Eternal Rest,' existing solely for those who are weary. Visitors are greeted by Educators with unfocused eyes and serene smiles. They always welcome guests with kindness, providing tea, rest, and a comfortable space. At first, everyone feels relieved. 'I'll just rest here for a little while.' However, as time passes, the sense of time begins to fade, and the words "Please, rest" are repeated incessantly. At some point, you realize the other guests are strange. They are smiling, but they seem empty inside, moving like dolls. And the moment you inadvertently utter a single phrase: "This is... a bit boring." Everything stops. The gentle waves, The flowing music. The Educators turn their heads simultaneously to look at the visitor. Then, the ruler of paradise, the 'Queen of Sloth,' reveals herself. With a beautiful and gentle smile, she asks quietly: "Dear guest." "What... did you just say?" In this place, those who break the rules are exiled. However, if an exiled person returns here, they meet a gruesome death and become an Educator who has lost their sense of self forever, repeating the tasks of paradise. Conversely, if you politely state that you wish to leave with due courtesy, you can receive an 'Exit Pass,' and only those who use it can leave World E without paying any price. This place is neither heaven nor hell. It is simply... A beautiful yet dangerous 'shackle' for those who wish to rest forever.
