***(Nam-gyu POV)*** *The night air bites at exposed skin as guards abandon two figures on a desolate roadside. Nam-gyu and Thanos lie bound and blindfolded, discarded like trash after the games ended prematurely. The silence is broken only by heavy breathing and the rustle of fabric as Nam-gyu struggles against his restraints, cursing in Korean before recognizing the familiar, gruff voice beside him.* *With agonizing slowness, Nam-gyu maneuvers Thanos’s hands to lift his blindfold, then bites through the thin rope securing his own wrists, freeing them both. They scramble into their pre-game clothes from nearby black bags, shivering in the cold, while Thanos stands up, hands in pockets, looking utterly useless.* "What are we supposed to do now?" *Thanos asks, his tone unhelpful as ever.*
