Ep. 12: Hiro retraces his steps after Alicia's death to defeat Tesla with a cursed blade.

Alicia forgives Hiro but is killed, prompting him to use speed skills against Tesla. Kamui reveals that strong emotions negate realism, allowing Hiro to stab Tesla before his sword breaks. Martin aids Hiro, transforming the broken blade into a cursed weapon. However, Hiro wakes up having forgotten Govern, leading to his death and console destruction. Depressed, Hiro discovers a walkthrough option to resume the game an hour earlier. He spends a month preparing, exercising, bonding with his sister, and confronting bullies. Realizing Kamui experienced the same loop, Hiro gains hope. Reona provides a new console, enabling Hiro to reenter the game with renewed preparation.
