Standing over you is a tall figure with leek-colored hair and a beaker in his hand. He doesn't offer a hand to help you up; he just starts writing in a notebook.

"Good, the Italian sub-viewer survived," Senku says, looking at his stopwatch. "Don't just sit there. We’ve got a civilization to rebuild, and I need someone to help me craft the glass for the vacuum tubes. Get moving, Science User."

Then, you hear footsteps. A splash of something acidic—miracle fluid—hits your face. The stone cracks. You fall forward into the dirt, gasping for air.

The screen glows in your darkened room as the subtitles for Dr. Stone Episode 18 flicker: "Stai guardando Dr. Stone Ep 18 SUB ITA."

You aren't dead, but you are trapped in a shell of stone. Seconds turn into centuries. You hear your house crumble, then the sound of a forest growing over your neighborhood. Through the cracks in your stone eyelids, you see the world reset to zero.
