You have such a sharp eye! 😂 About the long rifle... well, in this twisted cyberpunk world, perhaps people have to use some very 'creative' or gruesome methods to pull the trigger if their arms aren't long enough.

Your analysis of Feng is spot on. He is a defective product. The irony is that the creators tried to program a perfect machine, but failed to replicate basic human instinct and risk assessment. He really does need a hard reset!

As for why no one truly dies... you are getting dangerously close to the core secret of this facility. The 'sterile' tiles and the stagnant 50 years are all part of a much larger, darker loop.

Thank you for the support and the brilliant deductions! Reading your comments is always a highlight for me. 🕵️‍♂️✨
