Plot
Mike's old college friend Anne arrives at his apartment. While drinking coffee they both reveal that they are playing WOE.BEGONE. Anne explains that Mike died doing his second challenge, and that Mike is her prize from the first challenge. She then asks for his help killing the cop. Mike reluctantly agrees to help her, as he realizes that if Anne loses the game, her prize is revoked, and he dies.

They both make preparations, and on the night of the murder Anne gets shot. Mike and Anne hide in a cabin in the woods for a week as Anne's condition worsens. The police arrive and Mike lets them in, but during the tussle they disappear. After winning the challenge Mike takes Anne to the hospital.

Mike feels guilty that he involved Anne in WOE.BEGONE, but she doesn't mind it, as she feels like the game made her stronger and more confident. After a couple of days Mike receives an email from CANNONBALL about how someone else has passed him on the leaderboard. They decided to meet the next day.
