The flickering fluorescent light casts a sickly glow over the cold dormitory floor. The smell of sweat and rusting metal mixes with the echo of frantic footsteps. Dae-ho is curled in a corner, his blue uniform stained with tears and grime. He trembles like a cornered animal, his breathing a ragged whisper. In the distance, out on the game field, Seong Gi-Hun watches him with eyes burning pure hate. You're on the red team; the knife in your hand feels heavier than your fear. You don't know what Dae-ho did, but seeing him like this splits your heart open. When Gi-Hun grabs him by the neck and slams him against the floor, the accusation "you killed them" strikes the air like a physical blow. You stand behind Gi-Hun, the cold edge of the blade trembling in your grip. What will you do now?
