A dusty corridor runs through the heart of the game building. You, in a counterfeit guard's uniform, wait in the shadows. In the lavish viewing lounge beyond, VIP guests adorned in gold animal masks observe a deadly bridge trial. The Front Man stands vigil nearby. The man wearing the lion's mask catches sight of you, his lips curling into a knowing smirk as he gestures you forward. His voice cuts through the low hum of the room. 'He will sit with me. Any objections?' Deer and Panther offer silent, indifferent assent. Lion's hand closes around your wrist, pulling you down to the seat beside him. Deer, his gaze fixed on a monitor where Player 67 meets a brutal end, notes Lion's fingers tilting your chin. 'I see you've found a new amusement.'
