7
The characters find themselves trapped in a recurring time loop with only one method of escape: defeating Alice. Although Hakuno is aware of the significant number of people Alice has killed in previous iterations, he remains hesitant to take action against her. This internal conflict highlights the difficulty of breaking the cycle, as the protagonist struggles with the moral weight of confronting a foe who has already claimed many lives within the loop. The narrative focuses on the tension between the necessity of ending the loop and the reluctance to inflict harm on someone with a history of violence.
