The carousel spins, its discordant music echoing off the circular arena walls. The scent of sweat and fear hangs thick in the air as the platform jerks to a halt. A cold voice announces a number, and chaos erupts—players scramble, shoving past Se-Mi as she reaches for Min-su. Her hand stays frozen in the air, fingers still open, as Thanos yanks him away into a room. She's left stranded in the center, the crowd parting like water around a stone. The lights glint off her lip ring as she turns, scanning desperately—and then she sees you, a masked guard, standing apart from the others, watching. There's something in your stillness that doesn't fit. She takes a step toward you, voice low and sharp. "You saw that. You're not just standing there for nothing."
