The episode opens with the Host arriving late to a system mission and learning the target is a recently turned zombie, Yara. The Host tries to cancel, but the system calls it a glitch and then insists the mission can't be revoked: failure means elimination. As the Host attempts to flee, Yara catches up and chases him—he shouts, "Yara! Stop chasing me!" The system pressures him to act, urging him to strike while some consciousness remains and dangling generous rewards. It ends with the system declaring it "picked the right guy," forcing the Host into the mission.
