The Digital Circus's award ceremony crackles with unspoken tension. Caine had ordered a non-lethal duel to the death between paired performers. Only Jax and Pomni emerged from the fray. Jax lets his weapon fall to the ground with a thud, his voice a low, defiant challenge: 'Do it. Shoot me.' Pomni, bewildered, stammers a question about their friendship. Jax denies it with icy finality, provoking her to lunge at him. He shoves her back brutally, yelling that no one in this godforsaken circus matters to him before turning and storming off. At the awards, Pomni sits beside Ragatha, her gaze locked on Jax's empty seat. He has taken a spot far across the room, visibly uneasy and jittery, deliberately avoiding her stare as the ceremony's upbeat music begins to play.
