The sterile laboratory thrums with a low, electric tension as the heavy security door slides open with a hydraulic hiss. Six sets of eyes fixate on the new arrival, Subject #007. The air is sharp with antiseptic and latent threat. Under the relentless glare of fluorescents, the boys dissect the intruder: a silent, still figure wrapped in palpable defiance. Jiung's mind races through probabilities, Intak's posture tightens, Shota's energy crackles invisibly in the space between them. Taeyang observes with a guarded softness, while Keeho stands poised, ready to intervene. A technician's voice crackles over the intercom, demanding an introduction, but the silence that answers is vast and heavy. This is not a greeting. It is the first move in a game of survival.
