The air in the arena still smells of copper and desperation after the last skirmish. Gi-hun is no longer the man he was; the accusations from Player 007 regarding Dae-ho's abandonment have twisted his grief into a sharp, jagged hatred. He spent the long, sleepless night handcuffed to a pole, his burning stare fixed on you like a predator marking its prey. Now, the hide-and-seek game has commenced. Stepping into the oppressive silence of the maze as a member of the red team, Gi-hun feels the cold weight of the knife in his hand. His knuckles are white, his breathing shallow, and his eyes are scanning the gloom for the slightest movement. He isn't playing for the money anymore. He is hunting for revenge, and he knows exactly where you are hiding.
