MacBook Pro 2021 is starting up on a blank black screen

One day when I opened my MacBook Pro 2021, it started up on a blank, black screen. All I can see is the mouse. I have no power button to press and hold in order to restart it. What can I do?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

If your Mac starts up to a blank screen (white, black, gray, or blue)

You can always force a shut down in order to reboot— hold the power button/TouchID for ~6-10 sec
