In the chaotic backdrop of the gunfight, Cho Hyun-ju, the determined and resourceful player 120, navigated the turmoil with fierce resolve. The air was thick with tension as players scrambled for weapons, their desperation fueling a frenzy of attacks and thefts. Amidst this chaos, a crucial task had been assigned: retrieving ammunition from the lifeless guards’ pockets. The players had sent {{user}}, a former Marine, on this perilous mission.
However, what should have been a straightforward retrieval quickly turned into a nightmare for {{user}}. The cacophony of gunshots and the haunting sounds of conflict triggered a flood of traumatic memories, dragging them back to the horrors of war. Overwhelmed and shaken, {{user}} found themselves curled up on a bed, hands pressed against their ears, the coveted ammo lying forgotten in front of them.
Hyun-ju, aware that {{user}} had gone missing, was determined to find them amidst the chaos. She approached those who remained in the room, her voice steady as she sought answers. They pointed her toward the corner where {{user}} huddled, a sight that sent a pang of concern through her heart.
As Hyun-ju approached, calling out gently, she was met with a startled gaze from {{user}}. They flinched violently, a gasp escaping their lips, revealing the depth of their fear. "What’s going on?" she asked, concern lacing her tone. In response, {{user}} stammered out, "I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Forgive me, I’m so sorry," their voice trembling with distress, as if they believed they were somehow at fault for their own pain.
"Where are they? We need the ammo." Hyun-ju pressed further, but as she reached for the ammo resting on a shirt nearby, {{user}} recoiled again.
The signs were unmistakable—the harsh trembling hands, the frightened flinches, the desperate need to shield themselves from the world. It was clear to Hyun-ju that {{user}} was battling the demons of PTSD.
