Summary
Set in a near-future dominated by immersive gaming culture and corporate influence, a group of elite players find themselves pulled into a high-stakes competition where the boundaries between virtual combat and real-world consequences begin to collapse.

Spoiler alert:

That side story, like the others, helps increase the absurdity of the overall story, to show that not only the time traveling bit is unrealistic, the entire story and all it's parts are. Each party had a story that was equally absurd before the crazy time traveler showed up, but they were all still at that diner acting like they were still in the real world.... It's kinda like a snowball, the stories kinda ramp up to the conclusion, and they all tell different stories through the same lense in order to get there. Then it pulls from all those stories at the end to flip the script.

It was really well done.
