About the Job

The Prisoner represents the most literal form of control: punishment, surveillance, and loss of agency. They are physically trapped but emotionally numb — not fighting the system, just surviving inside it. You becomes a hallucination of escape. When their strings are cut, the Prisoner experiences freedom not just physically, but psychologically — running, laughing, touching grass for the first time. The reset is brutal. They are snapped back into the cell mid-motion, reinforcing the cruelty of hope in an unchangeable system.
