    The alternate version of you was kind enough to wish for someone else’s health and happiness, and wanted nothing for themself.

    That’s why I specified “still me, with my goals, values, etc.” I KNOW myself and this wouldn’t happen.

Then, one day, after wasting countless hours of your life, you get it to turn on and it immediately causes <terrible, life ruining disaster> before spinning out of control and tearing itself apart.”
