Summary
Swans are known to kill injured cygnets. While the most likely explanation for this is to avoid dragging predators to the nest, it's almost like mercy killing if you look at it from a human perspective.
The Admins say they chose to call him Swan because he's a family man. He supposes he can be like a swan in another way too if pushed.

Summary
Chance suffers from relentless insomnia—every time they closes their eyes, he’s met with the image of their dead friend, iTrapped.
Desperate, Chance turns to sleeping pills as a last resort, but not even drugs can shield them from the dreams. Instead, he’s forced to confront a hulking figure shrouded in darkness: Mafioso.
What begins as an exhausting battle of wills soon twists into something far more dangerous—mutual fascination.
A careless bet sparks an unexpected bond, and neither realizes they’re falling for the other until it’s too late.
For Chance, the dreamscape becomes an addiction, a refuge he’d rather lose himself in than face reality—even as it consumes him. But Mafioso knows the truth: if Chance doesn’t wake up soon, the pills will kill him.
And he’ll do anything to stop that—
Even if it means destroying the only world where they can be together.

Summary
1x turned her gaze upwards. “Why?” She asked, feeling a bit dumb. All of her regular sharp words were gone.
Telamon looked down, then back at her. It was a strange stance, almost guilty but not quite. Something about it seemed careful. His lips tensed against each other as he swallowed, and carefully opened his dry mouth to answer back, “It’s your 16th birthday today.”
1x’s eyes shot open. They had become half-lidded due to the warmth which had calmed her, but she was tense all over again. If she had hair on her body, it would all be standing up. “16th?” she said, tense. “It’s my 16th birthday?”
1x1x1x1 had never known how long she was stuck in the banlands for. After Shedletsky reveals her age, inadvertently revealing how long she was locked away, everyone is forced to recalibrate their existing prejudices against each other as the old dream of finding a way out of their hell is rekindled.
After all, if there’s a way in, there must be a way out.
