Yeah, sorry I posted the second I got done so it was fresh.
so near the very end of the arc after the "incident" the MC asks Loken about Kaius and when he went outside, Loken proceeds to tell MC that he never left. So this leave me with a few theories. A. It was a fever dream about Kaius. (Which would be the easiest answer), B. The scenario was produced by "Glitch" and never happened. (Also good shot there's a dead Kaius outside), C. The MC could have just imagined "leaving the shack scenario". (which would be similar to a fever dream but maybe fits better)or D. Nothing's changed and Glitch is still in control.
