The Unyielding Man's attitude was exactly as expected.
After all, the first rule of a prank was not to discuss the prank.
Once they openly admitted that the scenario before them had been designed, its nature would completely change—enough to pull the participants entirely out of the experience.
Whether it was the Director or Selvis, neither of them likely wanted to accept such a further collapse in prestige.
Yes, in Fu Qian's view, it was not just the Director who had designed all this. The reason the Unyielding Man was fighting himself here was that he was following orders from both sides at once.
If the Director and Selvis were not the same person, then what exactly were their goals?
Although this three-way dance had been sparked by him, the intruder, the initiative was clearly in the hands of the other two.
First of all, as mentioned before, the most direct explanation for why the people in this sanatorium obediently cooperated was that it had been arranged by Selvis.
So no matter how one looked at it, he should have been the unquestionable controller of this three-way dance.
But that was where things became interesting. Though he was clearly the one in control, he was carrying out the will of someone else—the "Director."
The carefully designed encounters arranged for him along the way...
The two notes from before and after...
From the confinement ward to the distinguished guests' area, then the first time he passed the attending physician's office...
It could be said that until the moment he returned from the train to the doctor's office, the Director had still seemed composed, with everything firmly under control.
To accomplish all that without Selvis's cooperation seemed impossible, making the Director feel very much like the true ruler of the sanatorium.
