Anomaly.
A deviation from a rule or from what is regarded as normal; an outlier.
He's not supposed to exist in the universe of ORV, but he is existing. A mistake in the universe that can't be erased.
People reacted differently after the dokkaebi disappeared. Some people tried to get out of the train while others called the police.
Yoo Sangah belonged to the latter group.
Sangah: "P-Police, the police aren’t answering! What, what should I...”
Dokja: “Calm down, Yoo Sangah-ssi,”
Dokja: “Yoo Sangah-ssi. Have you ever played the game that the development team made? A game where the world is destroyed and only a few people survive.”
Sangah: “Huh? What are you say...”
Dokja: “Think about it. We are in a game right now.”
Y/N: "Just think about it, something quite literally MANIFESTED itself into reality....well OUR reality and just killed like ten people."
He looked down at the child before silently finishing.
"Including her mother..."
The child looked up to him and started crying and pointing to her mom, Y/N tried soothing her by rubbing her head and hugging her.
Child: "M-Mommy.....M-Mommy! My mommy's dead! My mommy is dead!"
Now focusing onto her, he tried putting on a small smile while soothing her in any way possible.
Y/N: "I know...I promised her that I would take care of you. She entrusted your safety to me, if it helps.... I'll bury her body somewhere safe for you."
Child: "O-Okay..."
Y/N: "Now what's your name child?"
Kiara: "K-Kiara..."

「 Kiara (L/N)」
Y/N: "Alright Kiara, stay by me. I don't want you to get hurt."
Y/N thought about everything so far. He could feel the actual panic, he felt like he was genuinely in danger, well he was. He could feel the fear and sadness bloom.
The descriptions that existed only in the novel were now unfolding right before his eyes. He realized what was about to happen, now trying to grab Kiara mother's body before the dokkaebi stretched out its antenna.
The bodies now scattered like trash in the carriage, now having Kiara cry more since...her mom is practically gone now. He watched the scene unfold along with others.
「 The bloodied office worker shaking. 」
「An old lady groaning in her seat. 」
He watched every scene intently. It was like Neo in the Matrix, who suspected reality. Observing, questioning, and then eventually being convinced.
