Summary
Team Canada enters into a new CTM map, expecting their usual fun and hijinks collecting sixteen different colored wools. But what they find is a dungeon with a dark secret and a dangerous adversary. When an ancient evil is inadvertently set loose, they must decide how much they're willing to risk to defeat it.
All the while, Etho ruminates on why he and Bdubs didn't team up at the end of Limited Life, why it wasn't "you and me, we'll still stick together." Playing the CTM with Beef and Pause was supposed to give him time away to process his feelings, but as things heat up, Etho is forced to confront his converging issues simultaneously.

Summary
Etho's joined yet another death game. He's been doing this for a long time, probably longer than almost anyone else here. But something is different about Limited Life, leaving him floundering to reconcile what his past actions mean in the context of this new game. It's a fight to the death between Etho's avoidant tendencies and his struggle to build meaningful alliances. As his hours count down, the pressure is on to decide where his true priorities lie.
A re-telling of Limited Life from Etho's POV, where we'll be mirroring along with canon.
