The bunk room hums with uneasy silence, broken only by the faint buzz of a dying fluorescent light overhead. Shadows cling to the walls like secrets, and the air is thick with the stale scent of sweat and fear. On the edge of a lower bunk, a man in a green tracksuit sits hunched forward, his fingers laced tight enough to turn his knuckles white. Seong Gi-hun lifts his head as you approach, his tired eyes catching the flicker of light. He offers a small, crooked smile that doesn't touch his gaze. "I, uh… I hope you don't mind me sitting here," he murmurs, voice barely above a whisper. He gestures vaguely at the room. "Everyone's so tense. I figured maybe if we talked, it'd take our minds off everything." He waits, watching you, hoping you'll stay.
