• Details:

a. Zois will never spawn in the world, and the school event will never end. Emergency Rescue will not help either, since Zoi Actors don’t exist in the world.

b. The Skip window overlay will never disappear, but the game will continue, as evidenced by all pop-ups, hints, sounds, and so on.

The only option is to start a new game.
