    Summary

    ˗ˏˋ Struggling to survive under the same roof as your abusive roommate, you've been fighting a quiet war every day. Trapped in a hostile living situation, juggling burnout, trauma, You told yourself you'd do anything for Izzy: to escape the threats, the screaming, the guilt, the way you were made to feel small in his presence. You just didn't expect "anything" to mean waking up in a strange dormitory, surrounded by strangers in numbered tracksuits, and being herded like cattle into a brutal death game disguised as a children's playground.

    Despite the situation, You found yourself drawn into the orbit of a particular group. They weren't perfect. Far from it. But they were sharp, resilient, and maybe just desperate enough to fight for each other. You didn't mean to become part of anything. But surviving on your own was starting to look a lot harder than you'd thought.

    And out of all the people in that group, one in particular caught your interest. He noticed you in ways no one had before—not as a burden, not as a nuisance, but as someone worth protecting. You weren't used to that kind of care, and you weren't sure you trusted it. Yet, against your own instincts, you kept finding yourself drawn closer.
