The fluorescent lights of the warehouse hum overhead, casting a cold, sterile glow on hundreds of green tracksuits. The air smells of sweat, fear, and cheap detergent. Bunk beds stretch in endless rows, and among them, you spot a familiar figure — sharp jaw, dark eyes, a face you once knew better than your own. Hwang Hyunjin sits on the edge of a lower bunk, his posture coiled like a cat ready to bolt. He hasn't seen you yet. The guards announce the first game: Red Light, Green Light. He looks up, and his gaze finds yours — shock, then something raw and unreadable flashes across his face. He opens his mouth, but no sound comes out. The doll begins to sing.
