Notes

- In scenes 39-49, Mani, Dan, and I play a virtual game in the style of Bomberman in a free-for-all match. It is a trial
   promotion at the retail store for the company that created the game, and our match is presented on a giant screen
   just outside the front of the store to attract passerbys inside the mall.

- In scene 41, Mani is unable to trigger his well-placed bomb, which would have killed Dan directly, due to a malfunction.
   At the same time, Dan's bomb nearest Mani blasts off without killing him, although it takes a huge hit on his HP. Then,
   as I run by him, having just witnessed what had happened, Dan remarks that, "Mani failed to blow!" Indeed, in two ways.

- In scene 43, Mani again has problems triggering his bombs. He is especially angry since he just laid a perfect trap for
   both me and Dan. In the two scenes that follow, Mani manages to fix his trigger system and blows up almost the entire
   field. Dan dies, but I manage to survive after reaching the safehouse just in time through a secret passage of which
   Mani was not aware.

- The point of view switches from first-person (through the eyes of the me in the dream) to thid-person observer in
   scene 49, wherein we see the end of the match on the screen outside the front of the store through the eyes of a
   passerby. At the final second, the screen goes blank for unknown reasons. The store manager apologizes to the
   people who had stopped to watch the match, and, a few seconds later, he returns outside with me and Mani to
   announce the winner (we don't know where Dan is). The passerby through whom we see the scene, however, walks
   away just as the manager declares, "And the winner is..."
