Frightened, Mariano tried to uninstall the program. The uninstaller asked for a password. He tried to delete the folder. Access denied. He pulled the power cord. The screen stayed on, glowing faintly, and the AutoCAD interface reloaded automatically.
Within minutes, a file named AutoCAD_2024_Esp_Eternal.exe was downloading. The installation was smooth, the interface pristine, and the commands worked perfectly in Spanish. LÍNEA, BORRA, ACOTA. Mariano felt a rush of relief.
At 2:00 AM, while drawing a crucial load-bearing wall, the cursor moved on its own. It drew a door where no door should be—a small, perfectly square outline. Mariano deleted it. It reappeared. Then, the command line typed by itself: "¿Estás seguro de que quieres salir?" (Are you sure you want to leave?)
