By chance, you find the Faiz Gear which you can use to fight back. So, you're Faiz and that seems pretty cool at first, but now you're a priority target and if that's not bad enough, it's taxing on your body. At least Faiz is less dangerous than the other Gears. It would probably be the least of your worries.

Ryuki having that episode dedicated to scaring that kid might have been more on-point than I thought!

I think if I got the option, I'd probably go with being a Rider on Ex-Aid. You work a well-paying medical job while also playing video games at the same time! Granted, you and someone else will die if you're not good enough, but I'm pretty confident in my Mario skills.
