The green digital letters on the unusually large black sphere all hit zero. Time for the previous mission had run out. Sitting in the seemingly empty, dim apartment, the sphere scanned for the players, but no data could be retrieved. All the players had been eliminated. Unfortunate as it was the game had to continue, just as it always has. The ominous black sphere prepared to scan Tokyo for more players. It scanned for the silencing of heart beats and the final exhalation of lungs that would never fill with oxygen again. After a few minutes it found the next batch of players. It was time for the game to begin. Again.
