### Summary
Reiji's desperate choice to save Chako succeeds, but his brief moment of agency is immediately swallowed by the sterile reality of a hospital. Now under the scrutiny of doctors and authorities, Reiji is forced to confront the consequences of their pact, a reckoning made infinitely more terrifying by the arrival of his mother, Yuuko. For her, Reiji's act of saving another's life is a profound betrayal, a crack in the perfect prison of despair she has built for him. As the official investigation begins to untangle the town's web of secrets, Reiji discovers that his escape from the abyss was not an escape at all, but merely a fall into a different, more clinical kind of hell.
