A revived victim begs for mercy when a returning player recognizes them and threatens to kill them again. Cut to control: a tech checks the newcomer's basic stats—beta stats carried over—while Mr. Wallen reports survival at 10% as the last trainee faces an anomaly attack. Staff order the Security Bureau to prepare for a potential manifestation if the game isn't cleared. Then the feed shows someone killing an anomaly and the control room puts it on the main screen—a turning moment. A wounded trainee cries for help with a busted leg, leaving containment unresolved.
