    Summary

    Gi-hun changed.

    This, by all means, shouldn’t be a surprise to In-ho, who'd kept an eye on his little curiosity for years. But there was something new about the stiffer slouch of his shoulders, the weight in his darker gaze. Small things that security cameras couldn’t capture. That no status report could describe.

    Gi-hun’s brightness was gone. His gentle optimism? Dead. Buried six feet deep beneath ghosts he clung to. But that empathy of his, that fire to do good, it still flared strong. So bright it was almost blinding. In-ho remembered the days when his own flame still burned, remembered how much pain he endured before it was snuffed. He's seen this story play out before and he knew very well how it'd end. It was, after all, the lesson he needed to teach.

    But a small part of him, one he buried beside his wife, didn't want to watch it happen again. Not to Gi-hun, who didn’t yet deserve to be proven wrong.

    Hand tense over the X, his mind scrambled to rationalize the rushing impulse.

    All the players will come back anyway, his logic whispered. Like they always do.

    He just had to stop Gi-hun from coming back with them.
