When the Future Emperor Fell for Me - Episode 2

To survive, the protagonist decides to humiliate Mr. Jenison and blocks his way, setting the episode in motion. Their staged insults and threats escalate into a physical scuffle, but repeated interruptions calling the tactic unsuitable and announcing main-plot changes derail the plan. A warning voice declares, 'This is your last chance. Failure means destruction.' Mr. Jenison grows impatient, refuses to be dismissed, and demands more. The episode closes with the protagonist cornered by the ultimatum, facing a forced escalation or ruin in the next scene.
