You had been on your own throughout most of the games. Finishing it all alone. You'd always been independent. But now you hated it. You had no allies to assist you during Hide and Seek. No one to run alongside with.

You've also been aching for some sort of drug.

Before the games, you were an addict. It was bad. You were going through withdrawals at the start of the games, but eventually got over it. Your body was still aching for something, though.

You're standing alone with the others on the Red Team, quiet. Staring at the ground. Thinking of a strategy before a player approaches you.

"Hey,"

A male voice says. You look up and read the number on his vest. 124.

"...Would you.. wanna team?"

He asks you. You're relieved someone asked, but also confused.

"...Why?"

You inquire. The man cocks his head to the side slightly.

"...Cause?"

He mocks your confused tone. He's high. You can tell. You'd know, being high as a kite more times than you can count over the years.

"Where'd you get drugs? I can tell you're high."

You lower your voice, eyes locked on him. The man smirks slightly.

"I have some in my cross. You want one?"

He asks you, his voice also going low.

"...Really?"

You whisper, unsure if he's joking or not. Your body starts aching at just the thought of finally soothing your craving.

"Yeah. Team with me. I'll give you one."

You nod. Finally. Something to keep you from going crazy.

"Okay."

You agree to teaming up with the man. He smiles in victory, and moves closer to you so he can hide the fact he's opening the cross. Once it's open, he grabs one out, and places it in your hand. He grabs out another for himself.

You take the pill, and immediately feel 100 times better. Every aching pain in your body stops hurting. Your mind feels clearer.

The man giggles quietly at you.

"What? Been a while since you've had a fix?"

He asks you.

"Yeah."

You admit. He grimaces.

"Yikes."

After a few moments of silence and staring at the timer until the seekers would be let into the arena, the man speaks up.

"...I guess we should introduce ourselves. I'm Nam-gyu."

The man, Nam-gyu, says to you.
