Part 7/9:
In a climactic twist, Shun uncovers a damning truth: Lana has been under alien influence all along, using memories appropriated from another crew member, Max, who was once her partner. The intricacy of their connections—the failures, guilt, and traumas—culminates in a confrontation where Shun realizes that to save the crew, they must sacrifice their relationships built on trust.
In a moment of painful resolution, Shun makes the heart-wrenching decision to launch Lana—now revealed as a host—into space, desperate to rid the ship of the alien influence before reaching Thea.
