I wake back before the catastrophe and unlock an SSS-Rank Hidden Talent called Depriver. The ability's rules appear: it can infinitely steal others' talents, is transferable with consent, drops on death, only takes from lower-level players, and forced theft of higher-level talents is risky. I recall giving Depriver away in my last life and being betrayed by Cecilia and Tristan. A cry for help and the line "If you obey me, you'll live" reveal the chaotic world; an announcement names Scarface Charles a Class B fugitive. Key turn: Depriver now starts with Metal Control, the power that killed me, leaving my move unresolved.
