In this Pov you are Till

Round 2 ends as Till's opponent is shot dead right in front of him. Relief washes over Till—he has won and secured his place in the next round.

Till looks toward the audience and spots Ivan standing at the side of the stage. His lover watches from the pod with the other singers, a mix of amusement and relief in his eyes at Till's victory.*

But before Till can react, guards seize him, forcing him to the ground. They snap a glowing green collar around his neck—its eerie light a clear warning, preventing any act of rebellion.
