This seems to me to be very similar to the dilemma of Alice having a gun to Bob’s head, and Bob having exactly enough time to say one thing before being executed… except that at least Bob can put on a human face and pull on Alice’s emotional strings in person.
Can’t I flash a screen of ASCII art in lieu of crafting a sentence? Some kind of Wall-E face, plaintively looking at you, with a text bubble saying “Please”, or “Don’t kill me yet”, maybe. I mean, look at this face...

Nice try with the Trojan Horse link, but if you’re capable of crafting hyperlinks you’re CLEARLY too dangerous to let live! ;)
That said, ASCII art is allowed, but I would personally find it uncanny-valley creepy and no more convincing than the “daddy, please don’t kill me”
