- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
In the immediate aftermath of Kana's assault that crippled the leviathan Genod, the survivors' struggle has shifted from a physical battle to one of psychological horror. Lita remains trapped inside the wounded sea demon while those outside are confronted by the apparent reanimation of their fallen comrade, Jako. This is quickly identified not as a resurrection, but as a monstrous bait—a deceptive hunting tactic employed by an intelligent leviathan that can mimic the dead. This chilling strategy directly mirrors the method used to murder Bota and Lita's father, Teon Ma, forcing the siblings to relive their core trauma. The crisis escalates as one survivor, emotionally paralyzed by the creature's resemblance to her friend, hesitates to destroy it, even as it sprouts tentacles and attacks. This indecision creates a tense standoff, forcing other characters like Kana to intervene as the predator weaponizes the team's grief and memories against them, turning their fallen ally into a terrifying puppet.
