The pass didn’t expire.
The room did.
Inside a Virtua space on Vanar, my access was still signed, still in my wallet, still technically valid. The countdown hadn’t hit zero. The badge was there.
But the scene had already advanced.
People who were two seconds ahead of me triggered the interaction. I watched the aftermath render in real time. Same Virtua metaverse session. Same state root. Different outcome.
No denial banner.
No “expired” warning.
Just a room that kept behaving like the door was open while “eligible” slid past in silence.
Support said my pass was fine.
They were right.
The moment wasn’t.
