THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The main female lead and her time with Haku/Gavin, quite possibly one of the more harsh cases she's ever faced. The first time she's ever referenced herself as the "Red Queen", those who've played the game can state your thoughts.

Room 404 where Haku/Gavin is trapped in intense fire: Error not found? Her Evolver powers tell her otherwise, even though she's perceivable enough to figure out but still being in danger. To meet a Black Swan agent this early, better than nothing I'd guess, to address the difference of culmination.

Haku/Gavin's perception of the Evolver Anti-Crime Task Force he's in, it's another dead end as Black Swan has also likely infiltrated and a cease-to-desist order is given to eliminate him.

'In this world, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place...' - The Red Queen hypothesis. Is it justice to carry EVOLvers further than where they've been and losing theirselves over the Queen in evolution, or to cast shade and ridicule against fellow brethren living in harmony?

Definitely taking a turn for the worse, but am glad that the main plot has finally taken its step and toll on the central characters.

In Red Queen hypothesis, I'm actually more interested in this part:
"however, it has also been suggested that the Red Queen hypothesis explains the advantage of sexual reproduction (as opposed to asexual reproduction) at the level of individuals"

Honestly this episode is probably the best. We have best boi Haku taking the male lead and a whole lot more action. Wonder if they'll bring the Queen in during the season though.

We finally get insight on who the MC is and why the events keep happening. Tbh, the adaption is a bit more direct in that way without providing total info dump. Seems like she triggered the evolvers. (...and the saesaengs? LOL)

But also, ??? - MC just gonna go home then after leaving Gavin?

404 not found

A solid phrase to described this episode, knewing the fact that crazy woman eradicated into a not found stated in the end. Oh well, rip, then. At least everything just become more clear and clear than before. Every pieces of puzzle surrounding the girl weirdness somehow got revealed.

Within her new knowledge about the Queen that Black Swan really obsessed so hard awakening it, everything just went into a huge messed up as a result. In the other side, the government, aka Haku's the police guy place of work higher not really interesting with that Evolver. In fact they even tried hard to get rid of them somehow built the chaos into more complex. Now, Queen, what should you do? The next one goes to the Profesor again. Will he reveal his true identity? Or he just so cool again? Lets see the next one!

Omg this is waaay more intense than I thought it would be. My heart shattered a dozen times during this episode. All those people that Gavin thought he saved, I really prayed that they weren't dead but... 😭

With every episode, it seems more and more like Lucien is actually pretty cold and possibly on the evil. I have a big feeling he's gonna be yandere down the line.

I dunno if anyone else has read it but the whole 'Queen' thing and her mysteries powers really remind me of Queen's Quality manga

So.. the MC "just" needs to kill herself to prevent the Evolvers from killing the rest of humanity?

I think that’s because it’s what he’s called in the game. I guess Louis is what he’s called in Jap., but IDK why they felt the need to change it lol

So the MC has the Queen's genes which make Evolvers go berserk. That's why the events are happening. I feel bad for Gavin thinking that he saved all those evolvers and yet they are actually dead. Can't wait for the next episode because of Lucien.

That's his voice. He almost sounds similar to Fujiwara.

ERROR 404: Room not found

Must be though for mc girl and Gavin considering they not only have to deal with Black swan but also turns out the Task force killed all those evolvers and are after them
