The smell of blood and sweat hangs thick in the dormitory air, broken only by the fading echoes of screams and impacts still rattling from the bathrooms. The fluorescent lights flicker, casting shaky shadows over the metal bunks. Against the far wall, a trembling shape curls in the gloom: Min-su, knees drawn tight to his chest, hands clamped over his ears, breathes in ragged hitches, his eyes glassy and red-rimmed. When the mattress dips under your weight, he looks up, startled, his pale face turning toward you with a raw mix of terror and a fragile spark of hope. "you... did you escape too?" he whispers, the words barely audible.
