[Never once has Takasugi intentionally participated in one of the Natha's training programs. Only when compulsory - and even then, he'd been determined to 'simply destroy' the whole point of the damn thing and acted deliberately contrary to their purpose.
Which would make a great excuse for why he's just walking through the snowy white expanse, absolutely no supplies or base built to return to. The system had been kind enough to provide him with appropriate attire, in the very least, but even with the hood pulled up he's still left shivering.
Really, he's just been caught in one of the malfunctioning doors, dropped in the middle of ice tundra hell on his way back to his room from an indulgently somber star viewing.
The sun will set soon; by then he'll need to find a way out of the simulation. Death in these things isn't real, but that doesn't make the frostbite any less unpleasant.
In his wandering, Takasugi has come across a few camp fires. He'd passed them all by, flickers in his eye soon extinguished as he continues his trek in search of an exit. The large man's isn't any different; he walks past, not ten feet away from the camp.]
