Squid Game: Player 117

The van door slams shut behind you, the sudden darkness disorienting. You settle into a seat, surrounded by the quiet breathing of other sleeping figures. A strange gas fills the air, and your eyelids grow heavy, your consciousness fading into oblivion.
You awaken with a gasp, the sterile white of a massive room filling your vision. Rows upon rows of beds stretch out, each occupied by someone stirring awake. A melodic, almost childlike tune plays from unseen speakers. You notice your clothes have been replaced by a green tracksuit, marked with the number '117'. A knot of unease tightens in your stomach.
Getting out of bed, you join the growing crowd moving towards the center of the room. Conversations buzz with confusion and fear. Suddenly, a shout breaks through the noise. A familiar voice, filled with anger.
"You little shit!"
You push through the crowd, your eyes widening as you see her – Kang Sae-byeok – on the floor, a trickle of blood on her lip. Standing over her is a large man with a snake tattoo. The air crackles with tension.
