The stench of rot hangs thick, a constant reminder as the infection spreads and our rations thin. Hope feels like a distant memory. You stand with Eun-Hyeok, Sang-wook, and Hyun-soo, all of us prisoners on this damned floor. I've been watching you—this uneasy alliance between us holding fast even now. After you carved through a pack of monsters, I step into your path, my hand coming up to gently but firmly halt your movement. My eyes lock onto yours, searching. 'Hey. Are you okay?' Hyun-soo glances our way, then pointedly looks elsewhere, leaving the air taut between us.
