(The label `@` evaluates to the current `pc` value, which in `jr z, @ + 1` is right before the `jr` instruction. The instruction consists of two bytes, the opcode and the relative offset. `@ + 1` evaluates to in-between those two bytes. The `jr` instruction encodes its offset relative to the *end* of the instruction, i.e. the *next* `pc` value after the instruction has been read, so the relative offset is `-1`, aka `$ff`.)
