The power grid’s collapse is not just a technical malfunction but a narrative rupture, exposing the fragility of Bron’s control and the unchecked danger beneath the game’s facade. The lighthouse beam, sweeping across the grounds, becomes a stark contrast to the darkness, symbolizing the fleeting clarity in an otherwise impenetrable mystery.
