Sub-Exception-the-Second: Episode 4 - "The Plot Thickens"

It's been 4 days since the exception was thrown. The world is still in chaos, and our protagonist is still stuck in the infinite loop of recursion.

As they navigate the labyrinthine bureaucracy of the Exceptional Authorities, they stumble upon a cryptic message from a trusted source:

"The exception is not an exception. It's just a symptom."

Our hero is torn. Is this a breakthrough, or is it just a clever ruse to keep them trapped forever?
