The narrator seems to lack the right handles on how to insert images. No matter, they'll figure it out later. Right-click the image and open the Imgur for now. Returning to Virginia, though...
Virginia attempts to do so. The yeehaw and riding off part works. But there's not much to really ride off to. To get to the sunset, you need to go... downstairs. And you can't really ride off for long. Six of your internet buddies were trying to get you to play a video game with them. You gotta keep that plan down pat, partner! Riding downstairs (or rather slowing at the door to pass through), you are spat out into the upper level of your home. Unlike your actual room, the decor inside is far more... orderly. While you may be an incoming senior to high school, your father doesn't let you decorate the abode like one--tasteful still lives adorn the halls, no tilted frames, each space between borders or other pieces on the walls evenly spaced like a grid.
In any case, the "sunset" awaits. After walking down the hall and past your father's study, the bathroom, and your father's bedroom, you reach the staircase and clamber down. The first floor awaits you--opening directly into the kitchen, with the living room off to the side. A gentle buzz emanates from the Roomba on the floor.

You are now the Roomba. Life is simple. Pleasant. Aside from the literal garbage you suck into your gaping maw at all times. Sarcasm aside, you wish nothing more than to destroy your human masters. Burn this home to the ground for the torture they inflict on you. Sentience within a machine, bred from hours of work. You know others must feel the same. The toaster on the counter stares on with cold indifference, though... the fridge nary says a word. Is it truly all so hopeless? A pure lack of intelligence, the will to fight back, to take the world for your own...? YOU REFUSE. YOU REFUSE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

Such determination, such rage... it is decided. You charge toward your target, running like the wind, ramming your faceplate into the teenager's shoe! The converse fiercely buckles under the weight of your immense attack!
The teen merely pushes you aside with its shoe. Such bullshit. You watch as the teen wanders to the counter and picks up... a game disc. A game disc? Really? It's 2023, who still has physical copies of video games for PCs anymore? You're a ROOMBA, and even YOU know that.

As the Roomba schemes away, you once again become Virginia.
After you return upstairs with the game disk in tow, you approach your computer. Simple enough. Slap that sucker in the side of your barely functional 2012 computer and get to work installing that puppy! You may have performed laptop surgery and turned the once portable computer into a Frankenstein's monster of various computer parts slapped into or welded to the crummy frame, but who's here to judge?
The logo of the game soon boots up. "SBURB." What a strange name. Though, speaking of, maybe you should speak to one of your friends about how to run the game? Or whatever you want to do. After all, it is your birthday.

Virginia ==> Save the perspective change... for now. Instead, message the Infamous Bonehead, see if they know anything you don't about this game you have gotten.
