“i said your favorite word: the backrooms!”

in which case y/n (first person) gets stuck in the backrooms with mark, who happens to absolutely hate the backrooms.

g/n reader, pretty much platonic relationship. i also added a few things that weren’t in the game, but just things i thought of

(this has been eating me up all week but basically mark played the complex and it was all “haha he’s lost and he hates the backrooms” but my brain was like “omg the stairs and the couch and the color of that wall spark something in me” and now i want to write about mark and i exploring the backrooms)

_______________

“…and if the substrituent has three carbons, it’s called a propyl group!”

mark walked in front of me, his walk being turned more so into a trudge the more we roamed.

mark sighed, looking around the room we entered. it looked identical to the one before, and i could tell he was getting frustrated.

“that’s great, y/n. really, that’s—“

rain could suddenly be heard hitting the roof above us.

rain?

we both looked at each other wordlessly, listening to the pounding rain and booming thunder. how is there a storm here? there’s a roof? does that mean there’s a way out?

“‘s kinda nice.” he mumbled. “…you know?”

i nodded. “no i…” i paused, looking at him. “…i was gonna say the same thing.

out of all the people to be stuck here with, i couldn’t have chosen a better person.

_______________

“i gotta say,” mark spoke suddenly, grunting slightly as he struggled with the door in front of him. “i don’t like the way we spawned here without shoes.”

i glanced down at my socked feet. “i do. it’s comfy… with the carpet and all…”

he finally got the door open, sighing heavily. “the doorknobs turn down.”

i nod and say a silent “ahh..”, following him up a short flight of stairs. we enter a small hallway with a little room made into the wall, decorated with a couch and a table. the table held a vase with a fake white rose.

i see the rose in the vase and laugh. “kinda reminds me of—“

“—Ib.” mark chuckles. my face reddens, hopefully not too noticeably.

he passed the couch and the vase, continuing to walk. i stop.

upon noticing this, he turns and looks at me. “you want to stop here?”

“why not?” i shrug. “it’s comfy.” i crane my head toward the ceiling. “and it’s still raining.”

“i have a feeling it’s gonna rain for the entire duration of our time here.” he says, sitting on the couch next to me with a sigh.

we sat in silence, listening to the rain above us for a while, before i found the courage to speak.

“so… what were you doing…” i began. he turned to look at me. “…when you, uhm, ‘no clipped’ here.”

“ah.” he nodded, looking at the wall in front of us. “i had… just put Chica out.” he paused. “before i put her out, i yelled at her for chewing up something she wasn’t supposed to.”

another pause, then he chuckled lightly.

“you can imagine how bad i felt when i got here.”

i nodded, not knowing whether or not to feel bad or not. my story wasn’t as sad.

“i’m… i’m sure Amy is taking care of her.” i said with a small smile.

he shrugged, frowning. “…Chica wasn’t the only one i left on bad terms with.”

i nodded slowly as my lips formed an “oh”, not knowing what to say.

another silence.

“i’m sorry, mark.”

“what about you?”

i looked at him. “w-what?”

he chuckled. “the same question you asked me. what were you doing before you got here?”

i laughed. “oh! it’s kind of a funny story. i worked for my schools nursing building, in the simulation department.”

“simulation… like—“

“medical mannequins.”

he cringed. “ugh.”

i laughed. “oh, man. i forgot you hate mannequins! if regular mall mannequins creep you out, you should have seen this things… they talk, scream, moan, blink—“

“stop.” he chuckled, putting his hand up. i laughed even harder.

“anyways, that was simulation lab, where i primarily worked. we started a new thing with VR headsets where the students would do virtual clinical sessions. one day, nobody was in there, so i put one of the headsets on, and now i’m here.”

“oh, God. it’s… it’s like that Digital Circus thing.”

“exactly!” i said. “that’s what i thought… when i had… finally stopped panicking and crying.”

____

after a while of conversation, mark eventually fell asleep. i couldn’t blame him; i was pretty sure he’d been here long before i arrived.

i had a dream that i couldn’t remember when i woke up. upon waking, i found mark, still asleep, in the same position i had fell asleep to— head laid back, arm slung around the back of the couch, and his legs entangled in mine.

… he was much handsomer when he wasn’t just a box in the corner of a screen.

i looked at his arm, which had a rubber bracelet on it with a picture and text i couldn’t see nor read.

i decided to let him sleep a while longer.

_______________

(how tf do i watch mark at least once a week but i find it so hard to write his character)

Spinning

Takeshi Kovacs x Reader

After an argument with Tak you're grabbed and taken into a VR clinic

The hard concrete bit into your knees when the chains around your wrists were pulled roughly, slamming you down. You gulped in a breath of air before looking up to face your captors. "Back again? How many times does this make?" you'd lost count of how many times they'd killed you in here or how many different ways.

These assholes were creative. You had to hand it to them. "Once he comes for you it will go no further" The one who spoke had been the most creative. He was just slightly taller than you, bright green hair and eyes to match with pointed teeth that looked almost feline.What the hell kind of mods his sleeve had gotten in the real you didn't want to know if he actually looked like that.

You knew the risks, knew what you were facing. Sleeve death was the absolute best option, their goal would be more than likely to either break your mind completely or true death once they were finally through with you. "And who was that again?" you asked and was rewarded with a kick to your jaw. You fell backwards, curling into yourself as far as the chains would allow. You wished they would just get on with it at this point "The envoy"

You laughed painfully, rolling over onto your side to spit out a mouthful of blood "Takeshi? You think he would waste time coming after me?" another one moved forward, this one was a lot bigger, taller than Tak and just as broad. He also had a penance for knives.

He snatched you to your feet by your hair "You're his whore, are you not?" you grunted from pain but didn't respond until a knife appeared in his hand and you sucked in a shuddered breath in anticipation of what was to come "For the last time, I don't matter to him. No one does. I'm nothing more than a means to an end. Fuckin kill me and be done with it" he grinned "Where's the fun in that?" before slamming the knife into your heart.

-----------------------------------

You gasped when air flooded your lungs and you found yourself chained to a bed this time. They'd restarted the simulation and were going to kill you again, however many times it took for either your mind to break or Tak to come after you and you knew which would happen first.

His words from your last argument rang through your mind I don't need you. I don't want you. You're a distraction. That is all. at least he'd get his wish.

You heard the men begin to chatter, their voices drifting from every corner of the room followed by the sounds of their favorite toys being dragged out to play. "JUST KILL ME ALREADY"

A sudden burst of white light had your head spinning, unsure if this was the real or just another game your captors had thought up in an attempt to break you.

You forced your eyes open past the pain trying to keep them closed and was met with the sight of Elliot working to unhook you from the machines keeping you locked into the virtual loop. The sounds of fighting and the heavy copper scent of blood tinged the air. "Are you really here?" You breathed and he smiled up at you as the final restraint gave way "I am. Now we got to go"

He moved to help you sit up and a wave of nausea hit you as soon as your feet hit the floor. Just how long had you been under? "We've been looking for two days" he spoke without you having to ask as he moved to shift a shoulder under your arm and help you to stand, just as the door across the room burst open and green hair was thrown through it, a gaping hole through where his stack once was.

"Looks like your guy is about through" he grunted as the two of you headed towards the door and you managed a weak "He's not my guy" in return before the carnage in front of you stole any other thought once you got a clear view of the clinic. Amongst it all was Tak, blood covering his once white shirt as he stood over what seemed to be the last person remaining "Touching her? That's where you fucked up" despite being well acquainted with violence you flinched when the gun fired and pieces of the sleeve splattered across the floor.

His eyes tracked the room, no doubt scanning to be certain the threat was over before landing on you and Elliot. The question was clear in his expression so you gave a small nod.

After Poe did a quick once over of your vitals and confirmed physically you were unharmed, just in need of nutrients and hydration you headed up to a room he told you was all set up for you. As much as you wanted distance from Tak you wanted to sleep somewhere safe even worse. You could handle yourself for the most part but knowing anyone had to get past an envoy, a murderous hotel and a marine with a lot of pent up anger helped your feelings.

You weren't sure what had woke you up at first, Poe had brought food hours before and Elliot wouldn't venture up. You turned over on your side and almost allowed sleep to pull you back under before you realized you weren't alone in your room. You didn't say anything to acknowledge his presence, you knew you didn't have to. The moment your breathing changed he knew you were awake. "How are you feeling?" his deep voice wrapped around you the moment he spoke. "I'm fine Tak, You didn't have to check on me"

The nod he gave was damn near imperceivable in the darkened room "Poe dug around a little while he was checking you" you knew what he meant so you pushed yourself up the bed into a seated position with your back against the headboard to be able to face him fully "How many times?" he finally tore his gaze from where they had been glued to his hands to your face and you could see the anger hidden in his hazel eyes "Too many" you shrugged one shoulder "At least we finally have something in common" you knew from the way he looked at you that your sense of humor had again fallen flat to the envoy.

"Why did you turn your oni off?" you knew the question was coming. If you would've had it on it would've been easy enough for him to find you faster but you had stupidly let your emotions get the best of you and it had cost you. "Wasn't expecting half a dozen idiots to corner me in an alley. Assholes drugged me with something" he leaned forward in the chair, his elbows resting on his knees "About what I said.." you cut him off by throwing the blankets off your legs and pushing yourself to the edge of the bed "It's fine Tak"

You tried to stand up but somewhere between being drugged, tortured and killed multiple times added in with the dehydration and nutrient depletion made your legs decide they needed another nap despite you wanting to take a shower. Before your body could follow your knees in buckling Tak was on his feet, slipping one arm under your knees and the other under your shoulders. You allowed yourself the moment of your head resting agaisnt his chest as he took the couple steps back to the bed to gently place you on it "I think you need a little more rest"

The moment the warmth of his body left yours you reminded yourself he didn't want you, he came for you simply because that was the type of man he was. He hated anyone getting tied up in his shit despite his teachings that any and all were disposables as long as the mission was accomplished. You rolled your eyes up to look him in the eye "There's that famous envoy intuition" his lips twitched up somewhere between a smile and a smirk "Yeah" he looked back towards the door "I'll let you rest"

You managed a small smile "Thank you, for that and for coming for me" he reached down to gently brush back some of the hair that had fallen into your face "I'll always come for you"

You didn't say anything just turned away from him and pulled the blanket up around yourself. You heard his footsteps as he walked across the floor and right before the door opened you heard him say "I never meant what I said. You just deserve better than me" before you could turn over the door closed and he was gone leaving your head spinning worse than it already was.

Big Data and AI: The Perfect Partnership for Future Innovations 

Innovation allows organizations to excel at differentiation, boosting competitive advantages. Amid the growth of industry-disrupting technologies, big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) professionals want to support brands seeking bold design, delivery, and functionality ideas. This post discusses the importance of big data and AI, explaining why they matter to future innovations and business development. 

Understanding Big Data and AI 

Big data is a vast data volume, and you will find mixed data structures because of continuous data collection involving multimedia data objects. A data object or asset can be a document, an audio track, a video clip, a photo, or identical objects with special file formats. Since big data services focus on sorting and exploring data objects’ attributes at an unprecedented scale, integrating AI tools is essential. 

Artificial intelligence helps computers simulate human-like thinking and idea synthesis capabilities. Most AI ecosystems leverage advanced statistical methods and machine learning models. Their developers train the AI tools to develop and document high-quality insights by processing unstructured and semi-structured data objects. 

As a result, the scope of big data broadens if you add AI integrations that can determine data context. Businesses can generate new ideas instead of recombining recorded data or automatically filter data via AI-assisted quality assurances. 

Why Are Big Data and AI Perfect for Future Innovations? 

1| They Accelerate Scientific Studies  

Material sciences, green technology projects, and rare disorder research projects have provided humans with exceptional lifestyle improvements. However, as markets mature, commoditization becomes inevitable. 

At the same time, new, untested ideas can fail, attracting regulators’ dismay, disrespecting consumers’ beliefs, or hurting the environment. Additionally, bold ideas must not alienate consumers due to inherent complexity. Therefore, private sector stakeholders must employ scientific methods to identify feasible, sustainable, and consumer-friendly product ideas for brand differentiation.  

AI-powered platforms and business analytics solutions help global corporations immediately acquire, filter, and document data assets for independent research projects. For instance, a pharmaceutical firm can use them during clinical drug formulations and trials, while a car manufacturer might discover efficient production tactics using AI and big data. 

2| Brands Can Objectively Evaluate Forward-Thinking Business Ideas 

Some business ideas that a few people thought were laughable or unrealistic a few decades ago have forced many brands and professionals to abandon conventional strategies. Consider how streaming platforms’ founders affected theatrical film releases. They have reduced the importance of box office revenues while increasing independent artists’ discoverability. 

Likewise, exploring real estate investment opportunities on a tiny mobile or ordering clothes online were bizarre practices, according to many non-believers. They also predicted socializing through virtual reality (VR) avatars inside a computer-generated three-dimensional space would attract only the tech-savvy young adults. 

Today, customers and investors who underestimated those innovations prefer religiously studying how disrupting startups perform. Brands care less about losing money than missing an opportunity to be a first mover for a niche consumer base. Similarly, rejecting an idea without testing it at least a few times has become a taboo. 

Nobody can be 100% sure which innovation will gain global momentum, but AI and big data might provide relevant hints. These technologies are best for conducting unlimited scenario analyses and testing ideas likely to satisfy tomorrow’s customer expectations. 

3| AI-Assisted Insight Explorations Gamifies Idea Synthesis 

Combining a few ideas is easy but finding meaningful and profitable ideas by sorting the best ones is daunting. Innovative individuals must embrace AI recommendations to reduce time spent on brainstorming, product repurposing, and multidisciplinary collaborations. Furthermore, they can challenge themselves to find ideas better than an AI tool. 

Gamification of brainstorming will facilitate a healthy pursuit of novel product features, marketing strategies, and customer journey personalization. Additionally, incentivizing employees to leverage AI and big data to experiment with designing methods provides unique insights for future innovations. 

4| You Can Optimize Supply Chain Components with Big Data and AI Programs 

AI can capture extensive data on supply chains and offer suggestions on alternative supplier relations. Therefore, businesses will revise supply and delivery planning to overcome the flaws in current practices. 

For instance, Gartner awarded Beijing’s JD.com the Technology Innovation Award in 2024 because they combined statistical forecasting. The awardee has developed an explainable artificial intelligence to enhance its supply chain. Other finalists in this award category were Google, Cisco, MTN Group, and Allina Health. 

5| Academia Can Embrace Adaptive Learning and Psychological Well-Being 

Communication barriers and trying to force all learners to follow the standard course material based on a fixed schedule have undermined educational institutions’ goals worldwide. Understandably, expecting teachers to customize courses and multimedia assets for each student is impractical and humanly infeasible. 

As a result, investors, policymakers, parents, and student bodies seek outcome-oriented educational innovations powered by AI and big data for a learner-friendly, inclusive future. For instance, some edtech providers use AI computer-aided learning and teaching ecosystems leveraging videoconferencing, curriculum personalization, and psycho-cognitive support. 

Adaptive learning applications build student profiles and segments like marketers’ consumer categorizations. Their AI integrations can determine the ideal pace for teaching, whether a student exhibits learning disabilities, and whether a college or school has adequate resources. 

Challenges in Promoting Innovations Based on Big Data and AI Use Cases 

Encouraging stakeholders to acknowledge the need for big data and AI might be challenging. After all, uninformed stakeholders are likely to distrust tech-enabled lifestyle changes. Therefore, increasing AI awareness and educating everyone on data ethics are essential. 

In some regions, the IT or network infrastructure necessary for big data is unavailable or prone to stability flaws. This issue requires more investments and talented data specialists to leverage AI tools or conduct predictive analyses. 

Today’s legal frameworks lack provisions for regulating AI, big data, and scenario analytics. So, brands are unsure whether expanding data scope will get public administrators’ approvals. Lawmakers must find a balanced approach to enable AI-powered big data innovations without neglecting consumer rights or “privacy by design” principles. 

Conclusion 

The future of enterprise, institutional, and policy innovations lies in responsible technology implementations. Despite the obstacles, AI enthusiasts are optimistic that more stakeholders will admire the potential of new, disruptive technologies. 

Remember, gamifying how your team finds new ideas or predicting the actual potential of a business model necessitates AI’s predictive insights. At the same time, big data will offer broader perspectives on global supply chains and how to optimize a company’s policies. 

Lastly, academic improvements and scientific research are integral to developing sustainable products, accomplishing educational objectives, and responding to global crises. As a result, the informed stakeholders agree that AI and big data are perfect for shaping future innovations.

The Instructor

In a world meticulously crafted and controlled, "The Instructor: Echoes of Duty" delves into the intricate web of duty, discipline, and determination within the Paramedic Corps. Directed by a masterful hand, this film weaves a tapestry of raw human emotions against the backdrop of a society where every heartbeat is synchronized to the rhythm of the paramedic code.

Starring in a role that seems tailor-made for him, is Jackson LeClarke who served himself in the paramedic corps. He delivers a performance that is as chilling as it is moving. His portrayal of a seasoned intendurd servant, bound by the ironclad rules of the Corps, resonates with an eerie authenticity. With every glance and every word, he embodies the struggle of someone who believes in the system even as it threatens to consume his humanity.

The film opens with a chilling scene — a pristine paramedic station, shadows cast ominously by the harsh fluorescent lights. The silence is shattered by the arrival of the new recruits, fresh-faced and eager. As they embark on their intense training, the audience is thrust into a world where the line between mentorship and indoctrination blurs.

The cinematography in "The Instructor" is both haunting and beautiful. The stark, clinical interiors of the training facility contrast sharply with the serene yet indifferent beauty of the outside world. Each frame is a careful study in contrast, mirroring the internal conflict of the characters.

From the crack of dawn, when the recruits dutifully adorn their chastity cages, to the meticulous scrutiny by the instructors ensuring conformity, the film is a visceral dive into the heart of paramedic indoctrination.

The neuro-based VR training sequences are a spectacle to behold. Through the lens of cutting-edge technology, the recruits' minds are stretched and challenged, forging them into the finest paramedics. The VR training, portrayed with stunning visual effects, captures the surreal blend of reality and simulation, where the line between the two blurs until it's indistinguishable.

As the recruits navigate the labyrinthine corridors of virtual emergencies, the audience is drawn into their world. The palpable tension, the rush of adrenaline, and the overwhelming responsibility are portrayed so vividly that viewers find themselves holding their breath in sync with the characters on screen.

The supporting cast, composed of young recruits navigating their way through a world that demands perfection, brings a refreshing authenticity to the film. Their wide-eyed idealism clashes with the weathered, stoic facade of the instructors, creating moments of tension that resonate long after the credits roll.

The script, penned with a pen dipped in cynicism and splattered with irony, delves deep into the psyche of those who serve the Corps. It questions the price of obedience, the cost of loyalty, and the fine line between devotion and blind submission. The dialogues are razor-sharp, leaving the audience with lingering questions about duty, sacrifice, and the nature of freedom.

Accompanied by a haunting, minimalist score, "The Instructor: Echoes of Duty" is a cerebral journey that challenges not only the characters on screen but also the viewers in the theater. It prompts introspection, forcing us to confront the uncomfortable truths about our own allegiances and the systems we uphold.

In the end, "The Instructor" is not merely a film; it's a thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit under the weight of duty. It's a chilling reminder that even the noblest of causes can demand a price too high, and the echoes of duty reverberate long after the screen fades to black.

As Akaashi prepares for the Australian Grand Prix, he finds himself struggling to stay focused, with thoughts of his rival Bokuto intruding into his training sessions. His teammate, Sakusa, notices the distraction and pushes Akaashi to refocus, emphasizing control and precision. Meanwhile, Bokuto’s own team urges him to rein in his reckless style, emphasizing the importance of discipline in Formula 1. The race in Melbourne brings Akaashi and Bokuto head-to-head once more, with both drivers testing each other’s limits on the track. But as they compete, Akaashi begins to grapple with the impact that Bokuto’s unpredictable presence has on him, realizing it may be more than just rivalry.

-

Chapter 5 - The Australian Grand Prix

The low hum of the simulator’s engine filled the quiet training room, broken only by the steady rhythm of Akaashi’s breathing. His hands gripped the virtual steering wheel, fingers tight but controlled, his gaze fixed on the screen in front of him. The graphics projected the Albert Park Circuit in perfect detail—every curve, every chicane, every deceptive straight that demanded total focus.

Behind him, Sakusa Kiyoomi leaned over a set of monitors, his sharp gaze shifting between the data displays and the live feed of Akaashi’s simulated lap. As Keiseki Racing’s lead data analyst, Sakusa’s job was to track every metric that could affect performance—speed, tire wear, braking, acceleration. His demeanor was as precise and meticulous as the data he analyzed, his expression unreadable as he studied Akaashi’s every move.

“Your entry into Turn 3 is a bit wide,” Sakusa noted, his voice calm but firm through Akaashi’s headset. “You’re losing time on the inside line.”

Akaashi gritted his teeth, adjusting his approach as he took the corner again, but even as he corrected his line, his mind refused to settle. Instead, flashes of his last race filled his thoughts—the relentless battle with Bokuto, the thrill and frustration of going wheel-to-wheel with someone so unpredictable. It was irritating how vividly he could still see Bokuto’s grin, even though they were thousands of miles away from Jeddah.

“Focus on maintaining grip through the apex,” Sakusa continued, tapping a few keys to pull up Akaashi’s tire data. “Your tires are heating up too quickly. Smoothen out your exit.”

“Got it,” Akaashi replied, his voice clipped as he took the turn with more precision this time, but his focus was slipping. No matter how much he tried to force his mind into alignment, Bokuto’s image kept intruding, unsettling him.

Why did it bother him so much? He couldn’t put a name to it—resentment, perhaps, or a strange, unwelcome sense of rivalry that he hadn’t felt with any other driver.

He pushed through the next lap, determined to ignore the distraction. But a miscalculation on the entry of Turn 13 sent him skidding wide, costing him precious milliseconds. He clenched his jaw, an uncharacteristic flash of anger breaking through his usual composure.

“Damn it,” he muttered, yanking the steering wheel back on course.

Sakusa’s gaze flickered up from the monitor, taking in Akaashi’s tension with quiet interest. “Is everything alright?” he asked, his tone as even as ever, but there was a hint of curiosity in his expression.

Akaashi ripped off the VR headset, letting out a frustrated sigh. “No, it’s—” He hesitated, then forced himself to say it. “It’s… Bokuto.”

Sakusa raised an eyebrow, his lips pressing into a thin line as he considered this. “Bokuto? The Vetra driver?”

Akaashi exhaled sharply, crossing his arms as he leaned back in the simulator seat. “Yes. I can’t get him out of my head. He’s reckless, he’s distracting, and every time I think I’m focused, there he is again. It’s infuriating.”

Sakusa’s gaze didn’t waver, and he gave a slow nod, as though filing this information away for future analysis. “Interesting,” he murmured, his tone almost clinical. “You usually don’t let other drivers affect your concentration.”

Akaashi bristled slightly, feeling exposed under Sakusa’s scrutiny. “I’m not… affected,” he insisted, though his own frustration betrayed him. “It’s just that he doesn’t take this seriously. It’s like… like he thinks it’s all a game. And somehow, he’s still keeping up.”

Sakusa tilted his head, eyes narrowing as he observed Akaashi’s expression. “Maybe that’s precisely why he’s getting to you,” he said, his voice calm but probing. “You’re used to competing with drivers who are trained, methodical, calculated. Bokuto doesn’t fit into that mold, does he?”

Akaashi looked away, his jaw clenched. He didn’t want to admit that Sakusa was right, that Bokuto’s unpredictability was exactly what had been throwing him off. Bokuto didn’t play by the rules of precision that Akaashi had spent his life perfecting, and yet he was still there, keeping pace, stealing headlines, staying under Akaashi’s skin.

“He’s reckless,” Akaashi repeated, as though that alone could explain it. “One of these days, he’s going to push too far, and he’ll be out of the race entirely.”

Sakusa regarded him thoughtfully, his expression unreadable. “Perhaps. But maybe that’s part of his advantage,” he mused, almost to himself. “He’s willing to take risks others won’t. You’re both pushing boundaries, just… in different directions.”

Akaashi scoffed, dismissing the comment with a wave of his hand. “I don’t have time for risks. I have expectations to meet.”

Sakusa’s gaze softened, just a fraction. “That’s true. But don’t let Bokuto become an expectation of his own,” he said, his voice low, almost gentle. “If he’s affecting your focus, then maybe it’s not just his recklessness that’s the problem. It’s what it’s bringing out in you.”

Akaashi fell silent, absorbing the words with a knot of irritation and… something else. Sakusa always had a way of seeing through people, picking apart their motives with a precision that rivaled his data analysis. Akaashi both respected and resented that about him.

Before he could respond, Sakusa adjusted the monitor display, refocusing on the technical data. “We’ll go again from the top,” he said, his tone shifting back to the professional calm Akaashi was used to. “Focus on your own performance. Let Bokuto do what he wants. He’s not in your car.”

Akaashi took a deep breath, nodding as he slid the VR headset back on. Sakusa was right. He couldn’t let Bokuto’s unpredictability affect his own control. He was here to prove himself—not just against Bokuto, but against everyone who had ever doubted him.

“Let’s go,” he muttered, settling back into the simulator. This time, he would leave no room for distractions.

-

At the Vetra headquarters, Bokuto leaned against the cold metal frame of a prototype chassis, arms crossed as he listened to Atsumu’s feedback, nodding along like he was actually paying attention. But in truth, his mind kept drifting back to the track. The thrill of it, the roar of the crowd, the flash of Akaashi’s silver car in his mirrors.

“So, you’re telling me not to do that again?” he asked, a sheepish grin pulling at his lips.

Atsumu sighed, leaning back and crossing his arms, a patient but exasperated look on his face. “Yes, Bo, that’s exactly what I’m telling you. You’re driving like it’s a street race out there. This is Formula 1. You can’t just throw yourself into every gap and hope the car holds up.”

“But it worked in Jeddah! At least… until it didn’t,” Bokuto admitted, rubbing the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle.

Konoha, standing beside Atsumu with his usual unreadable expression, finally chimed in. “This isn’t about whether you can make it through by sheer luck or guts, Bokuto. You’re a Formula 1 driver now. That means precision. It means knowing when to hold back, when to push, and when to let the car do the work.”

Bokuto shifted his weight, crossing his arms tighter over his chest. “I get it, I get it. Just… y’know, I’m used to trusting my instincts. It’s what’s kept me alive.”

Atsumu’s expression softened a fraction. “I know, Bo. And no one’s saying to lose that instinct. But this isn’t the streets anymore. You’re up against guys who’ve been training for this since they were kids. You’ve got talent—hell, you’re one of the best natural drivers I’ve ever seen—but talent alone won’t get you to the top. Not here.”

Bokuto’s gaze dropped to the floor, his grin fading. He knew Atsumu was right. He’d known it since Bahrain, since the first time he’d felt the pressure of real competition. But it didn’t make the adjustment any easier. Part of him wanted to prove everyone wrong by doing things his way—unpredictable, aggressive, wild. But if he kept spinning out, he wouldn’t just be losing positions. He’d be throwing away his chance to stay in F1 at all.

“I just… I wanna show them I can do this,” he murmured, more to himself than anyone else. “And… maybe show Akaashi that I’m not just a wildcard.”

Konoha raised an eyebrow, a glint of amusement in his otherwise stoic gaze. “If you really want to get under Akaashi’s skin, focus on control. Show him that you’re more than a street racer. Trust me, nothing will get to him more than seeing you play by F1’s rules and still keep up.”

Bokuto’s grin returned, brighter this time. “Alright, alright. Control. Got it.”

Atsumu smirked, giving him a quick pat on the back. “Good. Now let’s get you ready for Melbourne. You’re gonna need that control on a track like Albert Park.”

Bokuto nodded, the fire of determination reignited. He’d show Akaashi, and the rest of the world, that he could play their game—and still drive circles around them.

-

The following morning, the Keiseki Racing garage was a hive of activity. Engineers and mechanics worked at a rapid pace, checking tire pressures, running diagnostics, and adjusting the car’s aerodynamics for the unique challenges of the Albert Park Circuit. Outside, the sun had barely risen over Melbourne, casting long shadows across the paddock as teams prepared for the first practice session.

Akaashi stood at the edge of the garage, watching his crew swarm around his car. His mind was a little clearer than it had been yesterday, thanks in part to Sakusa’s words. The quiet, meticulous data analyst had a way of cutting through Akaashi’s frustration and forcing him to refocus. He could see now how Bokuto had been in his head, affecting his performance—not through skill alone, but by embodying everything Akaashi wasn’t: reckless, instinctual, carefree.

But that didn’t change his goal. Akaashi had standards to meet, a reputation to uphold. He would put everything else aside and focus on what he did best.

As if on cue, Sakusa appeared beside him, a tablet in hand, already loaded with data from the morning setup runs. His dark eyes scanned the screen, expression unreadable. “We’re making a few tweaks to the suspension. Albert Park is fast, but the turns are tight. You’ll need more grip through the chicanes.”

Akaashi nodded, keeping his gaze on the car. “Any insight on the tire wear?”

Sakusa tapped the tablet. “Softs are burning quicker than we’d like, but if you maintain a steady pace in the middle sector, it should even out. We’ll also try adjusting the rear wing to reduce drag on the straights.”

“Good,” Akaashi replied, his voice steady. He glanced at Sakusa, noting the calm intensity in his eyes. “Thank you… for yesterday. In the simulator.”

Sakusa’s lips quirked in the faintest hint of a smile. “Just doing my job. Besides, if you’re distracted, you’re not racing at your full potential. And I have a reputation to uphold as well.” His eyes sharpened, a rare glint of humor in his otherwise stoic expression. “So, let’s make sure Bokuto isn’t a distraction today.”

Akaashi’s mouth tightened, but he managed a nod. “Agreed.”

With a final glance at the data, Akaashi headed toward his car, slipping into the cockpit with practiced ease. The familiar weight of his helmet settled over his head, and he breathed deeply, allowing the rhythm of the pre-race rituals to center him. The roar of the engine filled his ears as he started up, and the garage faded into the background.

Today was about precision. About reclaiming control. Bokuto, or any other driver, would have to fight for his attention on his terms.

-

The first practice session was a blur of fast laps and careful adjustments. Akaashi pushed the car to its limits, working to understand the intricacies of the track. The Albert Park Circuit was unique—a temporary street circuit with sections that flowed smoothly, only to tighten unexpectedly, demanding a blend of speed and caution. It wasn’t as intense as the narrow streets of Jeddah, but it required an awareness that could punish even the smallest lapse in concentration.

Lap after lap, Akaashi refined his lines, his braking points, his acceleration through the straights. In the corners, he could feel the grip of the newly adjusted suspension, giving him the stability to hit the apexes with precision. It was everything he loved about racing—the blend of control, speed, and technical mastery.

But even in the moments where he felt perfectly in sync with the car, there were flashes of distraction. Out of the corner of his eye, he sometimes caught glimpses of a black-and-yellow Vetra car streaking through the track. He knew it was Bokuto—he could tell by the erratic but oddly effective style, the small slides in the corners, the way he seemed to flirt with the limits.

Akaashi gritted his teeth and refocused, feeling the heat of irritation surge through him. He wasn’t about to let Bokuto disrupt his flow. Not again.

-

After an intense few hours on the track, Akaashi finally pulled into the garage, his body humming with the thrill of speed and the satisfaction of each lap shaved down by fractions of a second. He climbed out of the car, breathing hard, his mind already running through the improvements he could make before qualifying.

Sakusa approached with his tablet, scrolling through the data from Akaashi’s laps. “Consistent lap times,” he noted. “Your sector two is especially strong, but you’re giving up some time on the back straight. Could be a balance issue. I’ll run a few calculations.”

Akaashi wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodding as he listened, but he was distracted, his mind still buzzing with the rhythm of the track. Just as Sakusa was pointing out specific sections, a familiar voice boomed through the garage.

“Hey, Akaashi!”

Akaashi’s head snapped up, his jaw tightening instinctively as he spotted Bokuto at the edge of the garage, still in his racing suit, his hair sticking up wildly under his helmet. Bokuto’s grin was as wide as ever, his eyes bright with an intensity that seemed to radiate through the entire paddock.

“Great laps out there! I was keeping an eye on you.” Bokuto’s tone was casual, like they were discussing a friendly round of kart racing and not one of the most intense sports in the world. “Think you’ll be able to keep up tomorrow?”

Akaashi’s lips pressed into a thin line. “I think you’ll find that keeping up won’t be a problem for me.”

Bokuto just laughed, unphased by Akaashi’s seriousness. “That’s the spirit! I like the competition. Keeps things interesting, y’know?”

Akaashi felt his irritation rise again. Before he could reply, Sakusa stepped forward, giving Bokuto a scrutinizing look, as if assessing him. “Shouldn’t you be focusing on your own race?” he asked dryly, his tone colder than Akaashi’s.

Bokuto scratched the back of his neck, unbothered. “Yeah, yeah, I’m on my way back now. Just wanted to check in on my favorite driver here.” He flashed Akaashi a quick wink before backing away with a cheerful wave. “See you on the track, Akaashi!”

As Bokuto walked away, Akaashi clenched his fists, feeling his cheeks warm slightly despite himself. He forced himself to breathe deeply, calming his irritation as he turned back to Sakusa, who was observing him with quiet interest.

“Favorite driver, huh?” Sakusa said, raising an eyebrow, a slight smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.

Akaashi scowled, trying to ignore the faint heat in his face. “He’s… infuriating,” he muttered. “This isn’t a game, but he treats it like one.”

Sakusa simply nodded, his expression unreadable. But there was a glint of something in his eyes—amusement, or perhaps curiosity—that made Akaashi feel exposed, as if Sakusa could see right through his frustrations.

“Then don’t let him get to you,” Sakusa said quietly. “Remember, this isn’t about him. It’s about you.”

Akaashi took a steadying breath, nodding. Sakusa was right. This wasn’t about Bokuto, no matter how much he wanted to think otherwise. It was about proving himself, about living up to the expectations he’d carried since stepping into Formula 1. Bokuto was just… a distraction. A particularly loud, annoyingly charming distraction, but a distraction nonetheless.

With one final nod, he turned back to Sakusa. “Let’s go over the data again,” he said, his tone resolved. “I want to be flawless tomorrow.”

Sakusa gave him a slight smile, tapping his tablet as they dove back into the numbers, refining every detail for the race ahead.

-

The engines roared to life, filling the air with the unmistakable hum of raw power as the drivers waited on the grid. Akaashi was strapped into his cockpit in P8, fingers gripping the wheel, his breathing slow and measured. He’d qualified respectably, but starting from the fourth row wasn’t good enough for him. Not today.

Today, he was aiming for the podium. He needed to prove to everyone—to himself—that Bahrain had been a fluke and that Saudi wasn’t his limit.

Just three places ahead, in P5, sat the black-and-yellow Vetra car, already revving with restless energy. Bokuto. Akaashi caught sight of him in the brief moments before the lights began their countdown. Even from this distance, he could sense the uncontained energy rolling off of Bokuto, the way he sat almost vibrating in the cockpit, eager to launch forward.

Akaashi exhaled slowly, narrowing his gaze. Bokuto was fast—he had shown that in the previous races. But he was reckless, and Akaashi intended to use that recklessness to his advantage.

The lights blinked above the track.

Red. Red. Red.

They went out, and the grid erupted into motion.

-

Bokuto surged off the line, the tires biting into the tarmac as he launched forward from P5. He’d had a strong start, holding his position, maybe even gaining a slight advantage as he charged into the first corner. The thrill of it all roared in his ears, a familiar rush that blurred the noise of the crowd and the chatter from his earpiece.

But behind him, he knew Akaashi was coming.

The field settled into its rhythm, the first few laps unfolding in a flurry of overtakes and jostling for position. Bokuto held his ground, his eyes flicking to the mirrors every few seconds, half-expecting to see the silver Keiseki car closing in.

It didn’t take long. By Lap 10, Akaashi had moved up to P7, then P6, carving his way through the field with a precision that made Bokuto grit his teeth.

“Akaashi’s on your tail,” Atsumu’s voice crackled through his radio, a hint of tension in his tone. “Hold your line, and don’t get baited.”

Bokuto smirked, shifting gears as he powered down the straight. “Baited? I’m not worried. Let him try.”

-

Akaashi’s focus was razor-sharp as he closed in on P5. He had watched Bokuto’s moves for the last few laps, studying the way the Vetra car wove through traffic, the way Bokuto pushed his limits on every corner. Reckless. Aggressive. But effective, he had to admit.

It was the kind of driving Akaashi would never allow himself to indulge in. Every movement he made was calculated, a careful dance of precision and control. He couldn’t afford to be sloppy, to leave anything to chance.

As they rounded a high-speed chicane, Akaashi saw his opening. Bokuto had taken the corner wide, leaving just enough space on the inside. Akaashi dove into the gap, his car pulling up beside Bokuto’s as they approached the next turn.

They were side by side, the tension between them thick in the air. Akaashi’s heart raced, but his grip remained steady, his expression calm.

-

Bokuto felt the presence of Akaashi’s car beside him, inching forward with a smoothness that was almost infuriating. Akaashi’s line was perfect, his movements precise—a stark contrast to Bokuto’s own wild, instinct-driven style. Bokuto grinned, feeling the thrill of competition spark in his chest.

“Alright, Akaashi, let’s see what you’ve got,” he muttered under his breath.

He held his ground, refusing to yield. They entered the next turn neck-and-neck, and Bokuto edged his car closer, trying to push Akaashi out of position. It was a risky move—he knew it. But he also knew Akaashi wouldn’t back down easily.

“Bo, careful,” Atsumu’s voice warned over the radio. “You’re crowding him.”

But Bokuto ignored the caution. He was in his element, the thrill of the race washing over him as he fought to stay ahead. He veered slightly, inching Akaashi toward the edge of the track, hoping to force him to yield.

-

Akaashi gritted his teeth, feeling Bokuto’s car pressing closer, crowding him as they navigated the turn. The Vetra driver was pushing him dangerously close to the edge, but Akaashi held firm, refusing to be bullied off his line.

Bokuto’s tactic was obvious—an attempt to dominate, to intimidate. But Akaashi wasn’t rattled. Instead, he kept his line steady, staying within millimeters of the edge without giving Bokuto the satisfaction of a mistake.

But then Bokuto pushed just a little too far.

In his attempt to force Akaashi out, Bokuto’s front tires crossed the track limits. It was a small error, but enough to set off the sensors. Akaashi caught the slip immediately, feeling a wave of vindication as he maintained his own line flawlessly.

A few seconds later, Akaashi’s radio crackled to life. “Bokuto’s been issued a five-second penalty for forcing another driver off track,” his engineer reported, a hint of satisfaction in his voice. Akaashi allowed himself the smallest of smiles. Bokuto’s aggression had backfired.

-

Bokuto cursed under his breath as Atsumu delivered the news. “Five-second penalty, Bo. They’re saying you forced Akaashi off track. You’ve gotta pull back.”

“Damn it!” Bokuto growled, gripping the wheel tighter. “I was just racing hard!”

“Yeah, well, there’s hard racing, and then there’s that,” Atsumu replied, his tone somewhere between exasperated and concerned. “You’re in F1 now, Bo. Keep it clean, or you’re just throwing away positions.”

Bokuto exhaled sharply, frustration simmering in his chest. He knew Atsumu was right—knew he’d pushed too far. But the thought of yielding to Akaashi, of letting him pass without a fight, made his pride burn. Still, he forced himself to back off slightly, maintaining position as they approached the next set of corners.

-

The laps wound down, each one a battle of endurance and precision. Akaashi could feel the pressure from Bokuto behind him, the faint echo of that relentless presence lingering in his mind. But he stayed calm, holding his line, his focus unshakable.

In the final laps, Akaashi climbed his way up to P3. The track ahead was clear, his path to the podium secured. As he crossed the finish line, a wave of satisfaction washed over him—a victory in discipline, in control.

Behind him, Bokuto finished further down the pack, his aggressive move and subsequent penalty having cost him precious time. As Akaashi completed his cooldown lap, he glanced in his mirrors, catching a brief glimpse of the Vetra car.

He couldn’t quite put a name to the feeling that rose in his chest. It wasn’t just satisfaction at outpacing Bokuto—it was something else, something more complicated. A mixture of triumph and… a hint of sympathy?

Maybe he was ticked off by what happened earlier in the race.This unnamed feeling rattled around in Akaashi’s mind before he decided to call it anger. Anger at Bokuto’s recklessness… again. For putting the race in jeopardy for both of them.

He was determined to focus on the win, but all of that flew out the window when he spotted the yellow and black of the Vetra car pulling into the paddock behind him.

How Virtual Reality Technology Is Transforming the Medical Education Sector

Virtual reality technology is becoming more prevalent throughout the healthcare industry. Healthcare institutions are beginning to implement virtual reality technology into training programs and patient services to help medical professionals overcome real-world challenges. 

With so many different applications of virtual reality in healthcare, medical professionals need to understand how virtual reality will shape their role as a care giver in the digital age. This article explores how virtual reality technology is transforming the medical education sector and will continue to do so in the future.

Importance of medical training

Before delving into the many ways virtual reality is transforming the medical education sector, it is important to emphasize the importance of medical training. Training medical professionals is an essential part of the medical field because it helps healthcare institutions prepare their staff for real-world scenarios. 

Medical training can occur in many different settings, but virtual reality technology has made it easier to incorporate training into the normal workflow. With the increasing prevalence of virtual reality technology, it is much easier to integrate virtual reality into the normal workflow. For this reason, many medical institutions are using it for consciousness and motor function assessment training.  

This allows medical professionals to practice the skills they need to obtain while still performing their normal job. By training medical professionals with virtual reality technology, healthcare institutions can help their staff get ready for any eventuality, allowing them to better serve the people they treat.

Medical training using VR

VR offers a unique experience that is difficult or impossible to replicate with other technologies. VR allows users to feel like they are in a simulated environment that seems very real, thanks to technology like haptics and visuals. 

Additionally, medical professionals can use VR to simulate situations that would be dangerous to replicate in real life. VR training can help medical professionals practice skills like consciousness and motor function assessment, where doctors evaluate the condition of the patient. 

Practicing this procedure using VR means that medical professionals can simulate the feeling of inserting a scope in a safe setting. Using VR to train medical professionals involves creating a simulated environment that mimics the real-life scenario they will practice in.

How VR is used in medical education

VR allows medical professionals to train in simulated environments, but the technology is also integrated into normal education at many healthcare institutions. Many universities are beginning to use VR in their curriculums, allowing students to experience scenarios they would otherwise not be able to experience. 

By making use of VR, universities can simulate experiences that would otherwise be difficult to replicate, like performing surgery or being on the verge of giving birth. VR is useful in many different disciplines that students need to understand to become successful medical professionals. VR allows students to participate in virtual autopsies, walk through a patient’s journey with a chronic disease like diabetes, and even interact with virtual patients. 

Students can practice difficult skills, like performing a surgery, virtually, which allows them to try again if they make a mistake without having to start over. VR also allows medical students to participate in simulated situations that would be dangerous or unethical to replicate in real life.

Benefits of medical VR training

VR training has many benefits for medical professionals, including a reduction in anxiety, better students, and improved skills. VR training allows medical students to practice difficult procedures in a safe environment, reducing anxiety and improving their performance in real life. 

VR training will also help students develop better skills, which will make them more prepared for their careers. VR training is also useful for helping medical professionals improve their skills. For example, VR makes it easier for surgeons to practice difficult procedures like surgeries on a patient’s heart. VR training can also allow medical professionals to try tasks again if they make a mistake.

Reduced costs: VR training is often cheaper than traditional training methods, such as in-person simulations.

Increased accessibility: VR training can be accessed by anyone with a VR headset, regardless of their location.

Increased realism: VR simulations can provide a more realistic experience than other training methods, such as 2D video simulations.

Increased engagement: VR simulations can be more engaging than other training methods, such as lectures.

Customizable: VR simulations can be customized to the needs of the individual trainee.

Transforming the medical education sector

VR is transforming the medical education sector by changing the way medical students learn, which impact the future quality of care medical professionals can provide. VR is changing the way medical students learn by integrating technology into curriculums, including the use of VR in simulated environments. It is the best for consciousness and motor function assessment training.

VR is also being used to teach students subjects that would otherwise be difficult to replicate, like how to interact with patients. While VR is being used more heavily in medical education, there’s still room for improvement. Medical professionals need to understand how virtual reality is changing the medical education sector so that they can better prepare for their careers.

Medical training with VR: helping doctors build skills

VR training can also help medical professionals build skills, no matter what stage of their career they’re in. VR training can help doctors in training build the skills they need to become successful. VR can also help senior physicians build the skills they need to stay relevant in their field. 

VR training can help medical students build skills, which will make them more prepared for their careers. For example, medical students can use VR to practice difficult medical procedures, like consciousness and motor function assessment, to prepare for their careers. 

VR training can also help senior physicians build the skills they need to remain successful in the field. For example, VR training can help physicians build the skills they need to practice certain procedures.

VR can also be used to help senior physicians build skills related to dealing with new technologies. VR is becoming an increasingly important part of medical education and training, allowing students and professionals to train under a wide range of scenarios. VR training is a useful tool that is helping medical professionals learn new skills and build on old ones to become better and more prepared providers.

Future Trends in Ligature Training and Safety Protocols

In recent years, the focus on patient safety within healthcare facilities has intensified, particularly concerning mental health settings. Ligature points, which refer to places where a patient might attach something to harm themselves, pose significant risks. As healthcare providers strive to create safer environments, ligature training has emerged as a crucial component of safety protocols. This article explores the future trends in ligature training and the corresponding safety protocols aimed at reducing risks and enhancing patient care.

Understanding Ligature Training

Ligature training equips healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to identify potential ligature points and mitigate associated risks. The training often covers several areas, including risk assessment, crisis intervention, and communication techniques. However, as the healthcare landscape evolves, so too must the training programs designed to address these critical issues.

Current Challenges in Ligature Training

Before delving into future trends, it is essential to acknowledge the challenges currently faced in ligature training:

As new technology (Virtual reality, telehealth, and assistive technology), different healthcare needs, and ways of doing things keep changing, occupational therapists have a big role in making sure care is still centered around the person. The next few decades will bring both challenges and exciting advancements in the field, and I am preparing to meet them with open arms and a forward-thinking approach, please gather with me as I will be reflecting more about this.

In occupational therapy, we are working with people with different difficulties or challenges, this population includes old people(geriatrics), children(pediatric), people with physical disabilities, people with mental health challenges, and a specialized population.  The technology I am referring to in the above introduction in detail: Virtual reality (VR) allows patients to engage in simulated environments for therapeutic activities, particularly in rehabilitation settings. It creates controlled scenarios for practicing real-life skills, which is beneficial for stroke recovery or motor skill development (Levac et al., 2019). Telehealth is a major advancement, providing remote access to therapy services, and making care more accessible to clients in rural or underserved areas. This technology became particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to be a vital tool in extending the reach of occupational therapy services (Cason, 2020). Assistive technologies, like adaptive communication devices and environmental control systems, help clients with disabilities perform daily tasks independently, promoting autonomy and improving quality of life (Smith et al., 2021).

Currently, I’m building a strong foundation in physical and psychosocial, and hopefully, I will build more foundation in all areas which occupational therapist provides services. I will ensure that I am staying updated on advancements in technologies mentioned which are becoming essential in rehabilitation. I am learning and I will continue learning about pain management strategies, biomechanics, and the latest evidence-based practices to ensure that I can deliver the most effective and personalized care to clients with physical challenges.  I am also doing research on my clinical science module about how occupational therapist uses and understand ergonomics principles, so for clients with physical difficulties or disabilities, I aim to contribute to creating safer, more supportive environments for clients in workplaces like the protective workshops for example where I will facilitate daily activities after collecting and explored how qualified OTs apply this.

I realize that the future of OT also involves being a leader and advocate. Occupational therapy plays an essential role in policy discussions around healthcare access, disability rights, and aging populations. To be ready for these challenges, I am working and I will still go in-depth on developing my leadership and advocacy skills. Whether it’s through participating in professional forums or staying informed about healthcare policies, I want to ensure that my voice contributes to shaping the future of our field. As I prepare for this exciting future, I’ve learned a lot about myself and OT as well as fieldwork practices. I’ve realized that embracing change is not just about learning new techniques but also about challenging my assumptions and being open to new ways of thinking. This personal growth has allowed me to become more adaptable and resilient, qualities that will be essential in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.

As the future of occupational therapy unfolds, the opportunities to make a lasting impact are greater than ever. By embracing technological advancements, and preparing to meet the needs of aging, physical, and mental health disorders, pediatric populations can shape a healthier, more inclusive world. I am preparing for this future by continuously learning, staying adaptable, and fostering innovation within my practice. The journey ahead is exciting, and I’m ready to be part of the positive change that will redefine occupational therapy for years to come.
