Your character is no longer happy with escaping reality using &#8220;Joy&#8221; &#8211; the drug that keeps the citizens of Wellington Wells in perpetual happiness &#8211; and is just concerned with escaping the city. If other citizens figure out that you have not taken your Joy, they will make you take it by force or just beat you to a bloody pulp, resulting in a game over.
