A veneer of playful innocence hides a brutal truth. Mechanical dolls, treacherous glass pathways, and brittle sugar candies are not diversions, but tools of a terminal game. The challenges—Red Light Green Light, the Glass Bridge, Dalgona, and Marbles—are presented as amusement, but the cost of losing is final: death. The hero students of Class 1A and Class 1B find themselves imprisoned in an endless, sterile dormitory, metal bunks climbing the walls. They wait in a silence so thick you can hear your own heartbeat, unaware that their training is about to be measured against a single, unforgiving rule: win or die.
