The passengers finally began to accept it.
The truth.
“So, it really has to be a person?”
“Ah...”
“No way, how can we...”
“If we don’t, we’ll all die! The train will sink!”
“But who...?”
Remaining distance : 2
“......”
“......”
Their gazes shifted.
What they meant was clear.
‘He’s already not in his right mind, so why not just throw him out again?’
A suppressed, unspoken instinct that surfaced in emergencies.
The ‘first-loop sacrifice’ began to panic.
“Spare me! Please, spare meeee! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to! I don’t want to!!”
“Calm down, it’ll be okay...”
Remaining distance : 1
“No! Noooo!”
“Just step away from the window—huh? Huhhhh??”
Whoosh.
SPLASH—
The tunnel ended.
The train interior brightened as the view of the blue sea returned.
The ominous purple text filled the onboard display: ‘A sacrifice has arrived’ ‘Open the sea path’.
Near the window lay a pair of broken glasses on the floor.@@@@
“......”
“......”
And the man who had been the first sacrifice.
“The bastard who pushed me is dead! I didn’t die! I didn’t die! I-I’M ALIIIIVE!!”
Foaming at the mouth, the middle-aged man staggered down the aisle, collapsed in a corner, and began sobbing uncontrollably.
The train car was steeped in a chilling, suffocating silence.
The atmosphere felt maddening.
– The former leader became the sacrifice! A cliché development, albeit a bit quick this time.
Then—
“There’s another one coming, isn’t there?”
A cheerful voice that didn’t suit the situation echoed through the train.
Supervisor Dolphin.
“W-What did you say?”
“The second altar will appear soon, right? We should prepare for that.”
“Shut up already!!”
‘...No!’
She was about to single out the most uncooperative person and throw them out.
‘And if the loop restarts, she’ll just keep using the same people as sacrifices!’
It was efficient, but I couldn’t allow it.
Jin Nasol was undoubtedly competent, but she clearly had no understanding of how to manage public sentiment.
I raised my hand immediately.

“I volunteer!”
“......”
Jin Nasol turned to look at me.
“What?”
I repeated firmly.
“I’ll be the one to fall.”
“...!!”
“Why...”
Remaining distance : 2
“It’s not like it’ll be a real death, right? I’ll hold out and see.”
Then, I quickly leaned in and whispered to Jin Nasol.
“We need to find out what’s actually happening down there.”
“Is that necessary?”
“We can’t rely on civilian testimonies. I’ve prepared mental defense measures too.”
“Hmm...”
Remaining distance : 1
“Do as you like.”
“...! Thank you.”
I finished the brief exchange and turned to the crowd.
“There’s not much time left! Clear the way—I’m heading to the window!”
“U-Uhhh...”
The crowd, both from our car and the others, hesitated but stepped aside.
‘Good.’
Even though I spoke calmly, my hands were trembling.
But I had no choice.
‘According to the plan, this step is absolutely necessary.’
Since Plan A—immediately identifying and securing the person with the Silver Heart—had failed...
‘I have to go with a more extreme approach.’
“Everyone, stay back!”
I clung to the window and pulled out a painkiller from my pocket.
It might not work, but—
‘Better than nothing...!’
I jabbed the ‘Happy Maker’ syringe into my arm.
Then, without hesitation, I threw myself out the window.
Into the crimson tunnel.
