Part 7/9:
In a cunning move, the group in Norway tries to deceive Gia once more, donning masks to convince her of a toxic environment outside. This ploy, however, unravels when a fight ensues, forcing Gia to run and leading to her capture. Ironically, while she is locked in the plane, another character, Irons, desperately attempts to return to the shelter but is shut out.
Irons encounters Russian soldiers while trying to navigate her way back; cunningly, she spins a story to gain their trust, promising to lead them to her shelter if they assist her. This coalition shifts the narrative, introducing new players and raising the stakes significantly.
