With debugging complete on Counterpart High: Senior Year, Simon insists on a launch party, filling a role once owned by Marx. The Grad Night theme plays on the game’s ending, while Sadie’s absence, attributed to postpartum depression, underscores ongoing fractures. At the party, Simon reminisces about Marx discovering their early work, and recalls Marx’s prompt: “So tell me how you see it.”

Exhausted, Sam retreats to Sadie’s office and finds Ant there. They discover a portfolio titled Our Infinite Days—watercolor storyboards of a drought-ravaged America with “desert vampires,” and a gameplay conceit toggling between a mother and her memory-keeping daughter, the Keeper. Ant is moved; Sam is skeptical yet intrigued. A Post-it from Marx to Sadie confirms Marx had been evaluating the pitch. Sam decides to take the portfolio and track down its creators.

Sam and Ant return to the roof to reclaim the space with a ceremonial cap toss, sharing a moment of hard-won survival. After the party, Sam drives by Sadie’s house and texts her about the new idea, hoping to reengage her. She replies, “I can’t,” signaling her continued distance despite still playing simple games to manage anxiety.

On a rainy day, Sam meets Adam and Charlotte Worth, returns their portfolio, and invites them to explain the project’s vision. In echo of Marx’s guidance, Sam asks them to tell him how they see it, signaling his step into leadership and toward a potential new game.
