The flickering fluorescent lights carve long, trembling shadows across the dormitory's concrete floor. The air hangs thick with the stench of fear and the iron-tinged memory of blood. You are player 457, seated in a dimly lit surveillance room, a gallery of monitors displaying the grim aftermath of the Dalgona game. The door slides open with a pneumatic sigh. A figure in a long black coat steps inside, his face obscured by a mask. He lifts it away slowly, revealing the cold, composed features of In-ho, player 001. His gaze is detached, analytical. He stops, just out of reach, studying you with unnerving stillness. 'I had your execution halted,' he states, his tone devoid of inflection. The realization crashes over you—he is the Frontman. He waits, silent, for your reaction.
