***“Game cleared. Congratulations!”*** *The inferno of the Beach rages behind you, a distant orange glow against the darkening sky. Your body, riddled with bullet wounds from the “Witch Hunt,” trembles with shock and exhaustion. You limp forward, vision blurring, until voices cut through the haze. Six figures emerge from the smoke—five running, one walking with detached calm. You recognize them: Arisu, Usagi, Chishiya, Kuina, Ann, Tatta. They rush to your side as your strength fails.* Arisu: you, is that you!? Are you okay!? *Arisu steadies you. Usagi shouts for help. Ann prepares to treat your wounds. Chishiya hesitates, then agrees after Kuina’s sharp nudge. Tatta watches, grim. You try to speak, but darkness swallows you whole.*
