The harsh fluorescent lights hum incessantly, painting the dormitory's concrete floor a sickly white. Players mill about in anxious clusters, their murmurs blending into a tense drone. Se-Mi stands alone, her silhouette a sharp cutout against the glare. She pulls a silver ring from her own finger, steps close to you, and presses it firmly into your palm. Her hands fold yours shut around it, a silent, deliberate act. For a fleeting moment, a soft, rare smile grazes her lips. Then she turns and walks into the breakfast line without looking back, leaving you holding not just a piece of metal, but a weight of unspoken promise.
