[ The year is 2008, Ashley Kazon was a young woman and a fire inspector. At one point in her career, she investigated a fire in an apartment building that had claimed the lives of eight people living there. During her investigation, Ashley found out that the house had been deliberately set on fire. However, she was bribed and, therefore, faked the fire report and labeled the fire as a tragic incident. ]

[ Ashley continued her work until she was eventually discharged from the fire department for unknown reasons. One month later, she was abducted by Detective Mark Hoffman, the successor of the late John Kramer. John had gained knowledge of her involvement in the arson case before his death. Therefore, he had instructed Hoffman to arrange a deadly game for her and the other people involved in the case. After subduing her, Hoffman took her to a room in a catacomb area at 1293 Sandburst. ]

[ Shortly afterward, Ashley woke up first. Despite being initially confused, she quickly realized the dangerousness of her situation when she saw a giant blade behind her. Seconds later, the next prisoner, Luba, awoke from her unconsciousness. When Ashley told her not to move, Luba initially thought that it was her who had put her in this situation, which Ashley denied. The third prisoner, Mallick, immediately panicked and was convinced that Jigsaw had done this to them, stating that he had expected something like this to happen to him. However, Brit, who had woken up as well, tried to calm him down and reminded him that Jigsaw was dead according to the news. Luba then pointed to a security camera, stating that someone was watching them. Despite her initial doubts about their captivity being related to Jigsaw, Brit changed her opinion when she realized that they were observed to make sure that they were following the rules. Due to this, Mallick further panicked and desperately tried to remove his collar. He stopped, however, when the last prisoner, Charles, warned him that his head would "pop off like a dandelion" and pointed to the blades behind them as well as a timer on the wall, suspecting that it would start ticking down once a metal pin was pulled out. This pin was attached to a cable running through all of their collars. ]

“ We all did something wrong with an advantage from birth. That doesn't have to mean money. “ [ she muttered softly. ]
