Recap

From the wiki page Sack and Google:

In Centuria, Sack joined the Empire while Vera was made part of the Forest Alliance.

In Sack’s reality, he was imprisoned by the empire due to being made of paper, where they tested his programming skills with some rudimentary tests. After passing them, the Empire offered Sack his freedom if he would activate the dormant robot on the forest and take it to the capital, which Sack accepted thinking he could make some money out of it, although he considered he could not be the only one with such an idea. Meanwhile, Vera had been sent by the Forest Alliance to destroy the robot with a vial of acid for being too dangerous. Sack walked into the giant robot by chance, noting the king likely had a superiority complex due to its size, and tried to break into its sealed door with a blowtorch, failing and just getting dirt on him. In the end he managed to enter and while looking for valuables he accidentally turned it on, making it stand. Meanwhile Vera climbed into it, while Sack began easily figuring out how to pilot the mech. As Vera tried to pour the vial in the inner machinery, Sack grabbed her hand and declared he had found the robot first, and the conflict ensued - however, the robot walking sent both flying and the vial broke, opening a hole on the ground. Vera tried to use her gun to shoot at some inner gears then, but Sack grabbed her leg and tripped her. Sack tried to hit Vera with her own gun, turning a lever by accident, but she easily grabbed it and shot at him, missing. Sack mocked Vera, but she quickly recharged - however the lever pulled made the robot tilt and she fell backwards, the ground falling as she tried to grab it due to being weakened by the acid, and Vera fell off the machine to her doom. Happily Sack declared it was a job well done, while the robot stormed through the capital and its terrorized citizens.

In Vera’s canon reality, the Admiral Pizza found Sack, having heard he was good with computers, which Sack admitted was true. He gave the sack then the job of fixing a broken computer in a temple which could create algorithms predicting the actions of every person in the kingdom, allowing the Empire to hunt down its enemies, telling him there would probably be no one there to interrupt him - this would be in exchange for his freedom as Sack had been arrested for being made of paper-. When a soldier wondered if it was wise to send Sack alone, the Admiral admitted the idea of knowing the future made sailing boring so it was half half to him regarding the matter - it would all depend on whether Sack gained any more convictions in his life during CRAB or not (foreshadowing). As Sack worked on the machine, Vera appeared, and aiming her gun at him told him to stop. She interrogated Sack, who explained her the computer’s ability and purpose, and she called him a fool who was being manipulated by the Admiral who would throw him in prison once he was done, and noted how Sack did not even run away despite being alone, noting he had no convictions and just ensured his own destruction. Sack’s response was to pull a gun on her and shoot, but Vera had seen it coming and disarmed him by shooting at his hand. She pointed out he was like an animal and that one should know what they fight for, - he could create the best machine that could understand anything yet not even know his own cause. As she did this, she turned him into an explosive device, leaving the temple as Sack exploded bringing down the structure and computer with him.

After the round, Sack received a package from Google, after Sack broke a crowbar trying to open it he relied on Gouda to open it for him, which revealed the contents to be supplies: an infinite ammo Pistol and a manual on how to use a gun with a red text written “To Sack From G”.

He was seen as well in the Brat Pack dorms, cheering up Kome and ending up celebrating alongside them despite their defeat.
