At the same time a doctor, caring them as social worker, comments the impossibility to integrate them in a society that they feel as uncomfortable in its slowness and extremely bore, using virtual reality to free their violent instincts without to be imprisoned in jail. But during one of his missions, one the players discovers a glitch in the game (a malfunction in the simulation), noticing not only that the game is more real than he expected, but the truth hidden behind the own game and its real purpose.
