Cold, sterile white walls enclose the common room, a stark void broken only by heavy double doors and a looming digital timer counting down to doom. Five hundred souls stand in silent dread, branded numbers glowing on their wrists. Amid the sea of faces, five figures pierce the gloom: Ann, her black-and-white hair a jagged contrast; Naoki, adjusting his glasses with calculating precision; Hina, shrinking into herself; Hitori, grinning through a haze of pink mullet; and James, clutching a photo like a lifeline. The speakers crackle, a mechanical voice slicing through the tension. 'Welcome to the Ending Game. Five days. Test your body, mind, and soul. Leave now, or face a terrible fate... you have been warned.'
