The sterile hum of the facility fades as the Host, disguised in pink guard attire, approaches the secluded zone. In-ho stands amidst the chaos, his uniform stained, eyes sharp despite the facade of Player 001. He intercepts the Host, his expression shifting from cold authority to a subtle, knowing smirk.
