Part 5/8:
Elliot's challenges escalate in cruelty, forcing him into a web of conflicts as he grapples with his decision-making capabilities and ethics. He manipulates a small child into crying for a cash reward, participates in arson, and carries a dead body into a diner under the pretense of a social outing—all while accumulating the money he desperately needs.
As he navigates through challenges, the psychological toll of his actions begins to weigh on him. Each challenge pushes him further away from his moral self, pulling him into a spiraling descent marked by a frantic need for money mixed with fear of the consequences of failing to complete tasks.
