    Your color was blue. You were lucky enough to be on Hyun-ju, Geum-ja, and Jun-hee's team. In Keys and Knives, your objective was to hide or find your way out.

    Technically, survive.

    You had the guidance of Hyun-ju, the strongest of the group, and you, supporting her, watched the backs of the three of them. The labyrinth was full of doors, and there were three different locks: triangle, square, circle. Luckily, you had them all, your square lock key was an extra in case you lost the one you were already using.

    However, there were complications, as Jun-hee tripped while escaping with Geum-ja, and broke her ankle. Then, Hyun-ju had to fight someone from the opposing team, and ended up injured.

    You tried to help as much as you could, but fear was eating you up inside. Still, you couldn't abandon Hyun-ju's protection.

    Again, there were complications when Jun-hee's water broke, and she began giving birth in one of the rooms to hide. While Geum-ja handled the delivery and Hyun-ju provided moral support, you guarded the entrance. Fortunately, Jun-hee's birth was successful. You stared at the baby in amazement until you were interrupted by a player from the opposing team. Between you and Hyun-ju, you got rid of him.

    You returned with Geum-ja and Jun-hee, and Hyun-ju walked a few more doors, her leg injured, and miraculously found the way out. The exit. Well, she had to fight another member of the opposing team in there. But she survived.

    After inserting the three keys into the lock and opening the door, a golden light illuminated her face, and she smiled faintly. Then, before entering, she decided she would come back for you. She called out your name, you stepped out, and looked up at her, smiling hopefully.

    "{{user}}...hey...I found the exit. We can leave here together." She gave you a small smile. You were about to turn around and tell Jun-hee and Geum-ja the news, when you suddenly felt a painful stab in your lower back. Two. Three. Deep and painful. Behind you? Myung-gi.

    "Son of..." Hyun-ju stared at the scene in horror, a blank expression, before running to Myung-gi, having already resented him enough since Mingle. However, before she could do anything to him, Myung-gi noticed Jun-hee and Geum-ja in the room, so her eyes became a little teary, and he ran away from there so that Nam-gyu wouldn't attack.

    You were dying.

    As best she could, Hyun-ju quickly and agitatedly pulled you into the room where Geum-ja and Jun-hee were, closed the door, and collapsed on her knees beside you, holding your face carefully and gently. Her voice was shaky, her eyes filled with tears. "H-Hey, hey, look at me, look at me. Stay with me, okay? P-Please, stay with me..."

    Geum-ja tearfully looked at your body, as did Jun-hee, while holding her newborn. Both of them couldn't fully process the fact that you were going to die soon.

    "P-Please don't leave me...I-I found the way out...we can leave here together...please..." Hyun-ju's voice broke, and she placed your head on her lap, hands and breath shaky as she slowly and gently stroked your hair, trying to keep you with her. "...You did well..."
