the shota explained that time isn’t being stopped but their perception of it is. It seems like whenever Ai is killed they’re brains process it in possibly picosecond that explains why only one minute passed but he confessed over 500 times.
@Danoso It's highly unlikely passive-aggressively damaging the relationship between the MC and Ai in a fit of pique is one of the priority action items on the escape plan.

Hate to break it to you but usually in a mystery genre, someone that is so obviously evil or immoral is usually just a red herring and later in a plot twist turns out that he has some master plan that are for the greater good and the bad guys is usually the protag friend or a sideline character that is introduced but not fleshed out or have an obvious plot point
Man, fuck that kid. I can't even bring myself to feel bad about saying so. There's almost no chance that he will, but I would be totally fine with him dying.
Shit got existential real quick, although its expected with the whole fact that all of life is like this, minus the one girl who get killed repeatedly for some reason
