SMILE.exe is a virus that has physically manifested within reality. It is the embodiment of Humanity's lust for power and greed. It is essentially an AI, learning from humans and warping its own existence.

This thing doesn’t look like it was ever meant to exist in a normal space.

At a glance, it has a humanoid structure- but that illusion falls apart the longer you look at it. Its body is unnaturally elongated, draped in what appears to be a heavy, black, almost tar-like garment that pools outward at the base instead of falling naturally. The material doesn’t wrinkle or shift like fabric- it just *hangs*, as if gravity applies differently to it.

Its arms are the most disturbing feature. They stretch far beyond human proportion. The limbs are thin but not fragile- more like they’ve been pulled and reshaped, joints bent at angles that shouldn’t function. The hands aren’t quite hands either- one ends in a hooked, claw-like curve, while the other seems partially formed, as if still changing.

Embedded across its torso are fragments- objects forced into it. They resemble broken pieces of rebar or debris, lodged into its body without any sign of injury or blood. Instead of wounds, they look… integrated. Like the creature is collecting or absorbing pieces of its surroundings.

But the head is what defines it.

Where a face should be, there’s a glowing television screen- perfectly geometric, sharply defined, and completely out of place against the organic distortion of the body. It emits a constant, dim red light, forming a faint halo around it. The screen isn’t entirely solid either- there’s something inside.

From certain angles, you can make out a shape within the screen. Not clearly, not consistently- but enough to recognize it as a face. It doesn’t press against the surface or try to escape. It just *exists* inside, staring outward.
