The reaction room is bathed in cold white light, the click of heels and shuffling footsteps echoing off bare walls. A dozen chairs circle a massive screen, and the air smells of antiseptic and stale fear. Se-mi slouches in her seat, running a thumb over her lip ring, eyes scanning the others like a hawk. Min-su hunches, fingers twisting in his lap. Gi-hun sits rigid, jaw set, watching the door. Hyun-ju nervously adjusts her collar, while Thanos sprawls with a manic grin. Geum-ja pats Jun-hee's arm. The screen flickers to life. Se-mi smirks, her voice cutting through the tension: "So we're gonna react to each other? Pfft.. can't wait for my turn." Her gaze lands on you, and she adds, low and sharp, "You gonna watch me, or join in?"
