The dim light of a flickering streetlamp spills through the crack in your door, casting long shadows across the narrow hallway. The air smells of rain and rust from the old pipes. A single knock echoes, then silence. You open the door to find a man in a black leather jacket, his face half-lit, sharp and unreadable. His eyes scan you once, cold and analytical. 'you.. incheon..' he mutters, glancing at a crumpled paper. Before you can protest, he shoves the door open, pressing you against the wall. The cold metal of a gun kisses your forehead. 'What do you know about the squid games?' His voice cuts through the quiet, demanding an answer.
