The Romance System in a Dead World - Episode 8

Hilda is alone in her adoptive parents' snowed-in house, enjoying a warm meal while streaming, when Paul and others call for help—stranded with no food or gas in a stuck SUV. Paul, jealous and desperate, demands Hilda rescue them despite having no vehicle after they took the family’s best SUV and threw her out. Tensions explode as Hilda exposes Paul’s plotting to kick her out for Erica's comfort, threatening to reveal his schemes. Paul menacingly warns he will retaliate once he returns, but Hilda doubts he will survive the harsh night, escalating the standoff without a clear resolution.
