### Summary
In the battle's heavy aftermath, the heroes' psyches are as damaged as their bodies. While a regenerating Zombieman's casual demeanor provides some levity, Superalloy Darkshine remains psychologically crushed, hunched over in despair. Child Emperor, however, manages to secure a much-needed victory, a small bright spot amidst the gloom. The focus turns to Garou, who struggles to maintain his villainous facade; his attempts at evil are transparently contradicted by his inherent nature, revealing the conflicted "kid" underneath the monster as he carves out a new, uncertain path.
