## Summary

### Day 92: October 25, 2033

After finishing Valvina Prison, Jun, feeling guilty for the deaths during the war, requests to be put in prison. Xuanyu initially dismisses it, but Jun insists, blaming himself for the destruction and loss of lives. Jun expresses the desire to change how the citizens perceive him. Xuanyu refuses to comply, pledging to find a solution. As they discuss, a family confronts them, accusing Jun of causing a death during the war. A child claims Jun killed his sister, leading the family to demand Jun's imprisonment as the family labels Jun a murderer. Xuanyu questions Jun, who denies the accusation. Despite Jun's denial, the family insists on imprisoning Jun, expressing a deep distrust and desire to keep him away. The family leaves, leaving Jun and Xuanyu in a state of shock and uncertainty.

Jun willingly enters the prison cell, accepting a one-month confinement. Despite Xuanyu's frustration and conflicting emotions, Jun insists on staying and urges Xuanyu to leave for the wedding. As Xuanyu departs, he expresses a mix of regret and frustration for keeping Jun in prison. Jun, alone in his cell, reflects on his actions and experiences vivid flashbacks, particularly recalling the swamps and his attempt to confront Moises. Jun began thinking of a new ending. Something that he could've done back in the Wood War.

In Jun's new ending, Jun, overwhelmed by intense emotions, decides to confront Moises, seeking vengeance for the tragedies that occurred. However, in the critical moment, Jun struggles to carry out his plan and expresses remorse. Moises, sensing Jun's inner turmoil, offers a different resolution. Despite this, Jun, unable to overcome his emotions, abruptly stabs Moises multiple times, releasing his pent-up frustration. As the violent act unfolds, Jun's emotional turmoil intensifies, and the other members intervene to stop him. In a jarring shift, Jun reflects on his inability to fulfill his original plan and grapples with the aftermath of his actions.

During the wedding ceremony, Misha conducts the vows, asking Angie and Mark if they will be true to each other and God. Mark playfully interrupts with a yawn, leading to laughter from the crowd. After the interruption, both Mark and Angie express their commitment to the marriage. Misha officially pronounces them married, and the crowd cheers. Phoenix hands Mark the ring, and the couple exchanges rings amidst the celebratory atmosphere. Misha playfully encourages them to kiss, and the crowd eagerly awaits the moment. Mark, unexpectedly, refuses, eliciting laughter from the audience. Phoenix nudges Mark, and eventually, they share a kiss. Misha concludes the ceremony by announcing the start of the after-party, urging everyone to get drunk. The citizens enthusiastically join in the celebration.

After the wedding, Misha reflects on the day's success and falls asleep at a hotel. Mark and Angie, content with the day, lie in bed. Phoenix and Quin, still energetic, engage in activities together by fighting the brutes. Lilly and others, possibly too drunk to go home, sleep at the wedding palace. Nugget and 07 sit and chat, observing the drunken state of others. Edison snoozes nearby, and George and Mikey couldn't attend due to other commitments. Meanwhile, Xuanyu contemplates Jun's motives, wondering what Jun truly desires.

### Day 93: October 26, 2033

After a night of heavy drinking, Lilly wakes up with a hangover and discovers others, including Nugget, 07, and Edison, sleeping around. Several hours later, everyone gathers for a meeting at Xuanyu's house. Mark inquires about Jun's whereabouts, and Xuanyu reveals that Jun has willingly imprisoned himself due to guilt over the war. Edison pleads for Jun's release, but Xuanyu explains that Jun believes he deserves the punishment. Mark expresses frustration, and Edison suggests confronting Jun about the war's impact on their lives. Lilly asks for details, prompting Xuanyu to explain that Jun's decision occurred the previous day during the wedding palace celebration. Xuanyu begins explaining the prisoning of Jun.
