Somehow I got lost and ended up in a different town than my home was in. The home I used to live in, that is. So then I kept running, and all of the businesses and houses were stuck in like, the 70s/80s. Nothing looked modern. Apparently I was in a town that was stuck in the past. So I had to keep running, and there was someone else running home. They said I looked weak, and that I should've had a protein shake before doing all of that running. Eventually I did find my home, then the dream ended.

Most of puzzles allow White to gain a significant advantage after a sequence of moves, so I'd like you to identify that sequence instead of just one move.

Context

My brother passed away out of nowhere, and when I tried opening up to a twitch streamer I considered a close friend, she gave me literally zero sympathy and was trying to make me feel guilty about it. Not only did I lose my brother, but it felt like my close friend just stepped on my heart with a steel toe boot. Streamers cannot be your friend, lesson learned.
