1997. When screens still felt like windows, not mirrors.
Basements with glowing CRT monitors. Dial-up connecting — that sound, like a portal cracking open. The map of Brethain loading pixel by pixel. Afternoons dissolving into nights because time moved differently when you were building worlds together.
Or maybe you only know that dial-up sound from old videos. Maybe Brethain is just a name on a vaporwave aesthetic board. But somehow it still resonates. Like missing something you never had but always knew existed.
You don't need to have lived it to feel what was lost.
The beige computer. The fantasy map. The vaporwave bust. Fragments of a moment when technology felt like expansion, not extraction. When getting lost online meant discovering something real.
It didn't last. But it happened — and that matters. Because if it worked differently once, it can work differently again.
This design holds those fragments. Not as nostalgia, but as evidence. Proof for both those who remember and those who imagine.

This isn't fashion. It's an archive. A reminder. A refusal to accept this is the only way it could have turned out.
