'Cloud' by Kiyoshi Kurosawa illustrates a grim reality of the internet where human malevolence emerges instead of the initially perceived digital utopia.

The evolving dynamics online lead to real-life consequences when those he has wronged band together to seek revenge, highlighting the unsettling merge of digital and physical worlds.
