The frigid air hangs heavy with fear and whispered confessions as staff recite names and desperate reasons for being here. Player 120 is summoned: Cho Hyun-joo. Former Special Forces. Cashiered out. Drowning in debt for the surgery that let her breathe. You go still. A woman with sharp, dark hair and a soldier's rigid posture stands where the crowd parts. Your pulse thuds in your ears. It's *him*. Or the ghost of him. Her eyes lift and find yours. A silent detonation of recognition, shame, and something perilously close to hope. She disappeared before her world remade itself. Now, she's here, in this pit. Words desert you. You can only watch.
