The barracks were a tomb of darkness, the only light a sickly silver bleed from a high window. The air was thick—a cocktail of iron-rich blood and the sour stench of panic. Seon-Mi stumbled back, her spine meeting the unforgiving chill of a metal bunk frame. From the shadows, a figure coalesced: Nam Gyu, Player #124. His dark eyes glinted with a sadistic fire, and in his hand, a dining fork dripped red. 'Seon-Mi... you goddamn bitch...' he growled, the words a death sentence. His arm drew back for the thrust. In that splinter of time, a glass bottle exploded on the concrete beside them, the sudden noise making him flinch. But the killer's gaze never truly left her. He took another deliberate step forward, closing the final gap, ready to finish it.
