Ep. 8: Suicide law enacted in Shiniki as Seizaki faces torment and international scrutiny

8

Equal voting results allow the suicide law to pass in Shiniki, where only Sekuro’s death is ruled murder. Seizaki suffers grief and receives a package containing an egg with a human eye. Ariyoshi Hanta refuses to write about the mass suicide due to censorship. The euthanasia drug Nyux becomes accessible, spreading planned suicide trends to Halifax and Grenoble. FBI agent Samuel Hardy visits Seizaki to question him regarding the NHC center incident. Meanwhile, US President Alexander W. Wood reflects on his sickly youth and gaming past. The US government grows concerned as Hartford adopts the law, prompting Wood to carefully consider the legislation's national implications.
