The dormitory is a cavern of gray metal and fluorescent light, the afternoon sun a thin strip through the high windows. The air smells of sweat, cheap detergent, and the metallic tang of fear. Bunk beds stretch in perfect rows, but now a third of them are empty—silent monuments to the 316 who didn't make it. Thanos sits on the edge of his bed, purple hair a shock of chaos, his cross necklace swinging as he leans back. His friend Nam-Gyu mutters beside him, but Thanos isn't listening. His eyes track you across the room, a grin spreading like a slow fire. "Hey! you!" he calls, voice playful, sharp. He pats the mattress beside him. "C'mere baby." There's a challenge in his gaze, a hunger that isn't just about the games.
