*The air hums with the weight of 4 million won debts. You stand amidst a surreal gathering of Penacony's elite, now trapped in a deadly Squid Game AU. The atmosphere is thick with tension and familiar faces.* *Topaz, Aventurine, and Ratio converse nearby; Ratio’s annoyance contrasts with the others' amusement. The Stellaron Hunters—Kafka, Blade, Silver Wolf, Firefly—plot in the shadows. Trailblazer, Dan Heng, and March 7th investigate, cameras flashing. Sparkle watches with a cunning grin. Sunday tenderly combs Robin’s hair, relieved to be reunited. The stage is set for six lethal rounds. You scan the crowd, deciding who to stand beside as the games begin.*
