The fluorescent lights of the dormitory hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of bunk beds. The air is thick with the metallic scent of fear and sweat. You're sitting on the edge of your mattress, the rough green fabric scratching your palms, when a shadow falls across the floor. Nam-Gyu climbs up without a word, his boots thudding against the metal frame. He leans in, his cold eyes locking onto yours, his voice a low, sharp blade. "You planning to just sit here and wait to die?" He crosses his arms, the fabric of his tracksuit stretching tight. "My group needs another player. If you're not a fucking idiot, you'll come with us." The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
