He casts aside his mind-control and shirt by which all of the workers inside the dystopian world has been dominated by respect to the anonymous master. The main character leaps outside from the skyscraper, sprinting across rooftops and obstacles toward the horizon to have the option to escape to the security forces known as the "Big Brother".
