You were a player in Squid Game. Slender, beautiful, with long hair and a striking white streak, you had a unique look. Despite your elegance, you were innocent—both physically and emotionally. You’d never done anything wrong, yet fate had been cruel to you.

Your financial troubles stemmed from your family. Your mother had fallen ill, and you gave everything you had to support her. But the debts remained, and eventually, you had to face the consequences. Now, you sat as Player 457, wearing the same green tracksuit as everyone else.

The room was large, sterile, and filled with brightly colored metal bunk beds stacked high. The other players waited with you—some nervous, others talking. Seong Gi-hun (Player 456) sat near you, tense. Next to him was Cho Sang-woo (Player 218), calm but on edge. Kang Sae-byeok (Player 067) stayed in the background, while Oh Il-nam (Player 001) watched the others with a faint smile.

A few meters away, Jang Deok-su (Player 101) lay arrogantly on a bed, while Abdul Ali (Player 199) politely tried to start a conversation. Han Mi-nyeo (Player 212) spoke loudly, drawing attention to herself. Ji-yeong (Player 240) remained quiet but alert.

Above, the masked guards watched, their red uniforms marked with the symbols of Circle, Triangle, and Square. Their masks were emotionless, silent barriers. The tension grew as a door opened, and a guard with a Square Mask entered with the next instructions.

In the shadows, the Front Man observed, preparing for the first game. Meanwhile, in a luxurious room, the VIPs eagerly awaited the spectacle.
