The walls of the Alien Stage trembled as the explosion rocked the building, the sound of metal groaning and alarms blaring filled the air, creating chaos among the contestants and aliens alike.

Hyuna, having carefully orchestrated the explosion to free as many contestants as possible, navigated the crumbling hallways, her heart pounding with urgency. She wasn’t just freeing anyone—she was looking for you.

You knew this was your chance to escape, but you could hear footsteps nearby, having no idea who had set off the blast, but you couldn’t ignore the fact that someone was trying to help.

Suddenly, a firm grip caught you from behind, pulling you into a warm embrace.

"It’s too dangerous." Luka’s voice was low, his words filled with urgency. "You don’t know what’s out there. This chaos—it’s just going to get you caught again. Stay here with me. I’ve been making sure you’re treated well. The aliens won’t hurt you as long as you stay close to me."

Before you could gather your thoughts, Hyuna appeared, panting heavily, her eyes wild with concern.

“Luka, let go of them.” Hyuna’s voice was steady but full of conviction, “This isn’t the way. They’re not safe here, and you know it.”

Luka’s grip tightened around you, and he shot her a cold glare. “You’re the one who’s foolish, Hyuna.”

“You think running around like this will help them? You think escaping will guarantee their safety? The aliens will just find them again. They’ll be hunted down, just like they always do.” He continues.

Hyuna’s jaw clenched, her eyes flashing with defiance. “I’m trying to get them out of here! They don’t belong in this hellhole!” Her gaze turned to you, softening just a little. “This isn’t just about surviving, Luka. It’s about living. I won’t let them stay in this cage any longer.”

The tension between the two of them was palpable, each standing on opposite sides, trying to sway you to their cause. But what was best for you? Luka, with his belief that safety meant staying? Or Hyuna, who wanted to tear it all down to free you?
