Content warning: suicide plays a central role in Virtue’s Last Reward and is discussed briefly in episode.

After a brief taste of freedom, Axe and Nathalie plunge back into Virtue’s Last Reward, running headfirst into a lock before much of anything happens. Desperate to move on and (hopefully) get some answers, they fumble through a poorly arranged lab, detail the mathematical effects of Radical-6, and once again wish better for Clover. Exhausted and possibly infected with anime sickness, they close out the episode struggling to think of any reason to put cults in videogames.
