The falling market had entered everyday conversations among studio staff and players. A-Zhen was checking dependencies for the main game, while Night Watchman tried to keep gameplay feedback from being scattered by a stream of price updates.
Late at night came the news that Celsius had frozen all withdrawals, igniting fears of a run. Some people conflated blocked withdrawals with game assets. Night Watchman urged them first to identify what they held and on which platform. A-Zhen decided to check the external services the team currently depended on the next day, instead of changing development plans on the strength of rumors.
The discussion moved from watching prices alone to locating specific risks. That did not remove the anxiety, but it gave the two people distinct next steps: clarify community questions and verify development dependencies. No one knew that night how far the consequences of the Celsius freeze would reach.
