>>$195 Except Chen didn't win the race, did she? Sure, she survived, but only thanks to dropping out (good thing too, because the last stage makes it a Kobayashi Maru scenario.)
A) Died in the forest (though it doesn't really look like it) or B) Fell asleep, and got found by either some random passerby Misters or the Misters who were running the death race, and the last panel is just her dreaming.
Everyone wanted Chen to win but asshole Deibu make a wrong move to push Chen so she can't win, but then there's karma Deibu got what she got is death, and Chen got her family back, the people who wanted Chen to win help her and set her free.
