[UNTITLED #020]: How Our Team Learned to Never (EVER) Use Pneumatics

I guess the first thing we should've asked ourselves was if using pneumatics was necessary.

The year is 2022. A classroom is filled with nothing but a pneumatics kit (of questionable origin) and a dream. And ~45 students. They also had dreams. Also.

I remember when we started our air-pressure-gauge-reading-journey. The world was infused with the acoustic ambiance of a workshop with power. Now, I am an author who speaks (somewhat) for the team, but, if I were an author that spoke for myself, I might say something about how, while I personally didn't have much to do, I was fascinated just watching them work.

The design for the robot, a claw that would be pushed forth with a pneumatic piston, was almost entirely created by a few of the older students, which sucks because upperclassmen are always busy and they didn't have much help (quick parenthetical of appreciation for those that contributed that year). To be frank, no one really knew what they were doing.

A week or two until comp and our robot was but undone. The workshop was emptier in those days. Our main electrical guy had spent a few minutes making an entire table from scratch wood for some reason (to work on or practice driving with or something; my memory eludes me). Suddenly, we had something resembling a bot. I helped with bumpers.

Were we cramming? No, we were living

And to ourselves, we had to be forgiving

We had no choice

But to rely on a few senior boys

And hope they got the bot moving

Anyway, so we're at comp and we're having all sorts of issues. There are leaks and we have trouble getting past inspection, but if I remember correctly the piston might have worked once or twice. A super nice guy from another team spends like the whole day with us trying to get it working, which really showcased coopertition. Everyone in our few feet of pit is stressed and our president ran to best buy to get us a brand new light-up xbox controller. Eventually, we were able to compete. Our mechanism still wasn't great, so we slapped a dumbbell on the robot and played defense.

We didn't win, but we adapted, and the whole experience only made going to playoffs a year later that much sweeter. Also, we at least got to experiment with pneumatics. But pneumatics is hard guys. And also that game kinda sucked.

We learned a lesson that day. Air likes to be as free as a bird. We were not airbenders. We were but FRC lovers.

In all honestly, though, that year was probably an essential step in the progression of our team. What we lacked in time-management we made up for (further hindered) with ambition. Additionally, we really became comfortable stepping outside our comfort zone (you won't have trouble straying from the tried and true if all is tried and nothing is true). We used a somewhat original design, and I think at least a few students were invested in the outcome. And it was a good time.

Abrams Tanks May Have Some Problems in Ukraine - How Serious Are They? - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/abrams-tanks-may-have-some-problems-in-ukraine-how-serious-are-they-technology-org/

Abrams Tanks May Have Some Problems in Ukraine - How Serious Are They? - Technology Org

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are using a bunch of different types of Western tanks. Those include German Leopard 1 and 2 tanks, British Challenger 2 and, of course, at least 31 M1A1 Abrams tanks. All of these tanks have certain peculiarities about them and crews have to be prepared for each of these types individually. However, the Abrams main battle tank may pose the most serious problems.

Ukraine absolutely needs main battle tanks. The more the better. And the more advanced the better. However, the West lived in peace for so long that the tank reserves are not that great. NATO countries don’t have that many tanks to spare actually.

On top of that, the choices of which tanks to supply need to be made in a smart way, because Ukraine does not have any experience with the Western-designed tanks, there is no servicing or ammo supply infrastructure there.

And now the Ukrainian Ground Forces have a mish-mash of tanks, which have their own peculiarities:

The Leopard 1A5 is not only the oldest in its architecture, but also has a rifled 105 mm gun. This means that it needs special ammunition, which is not common in NATO anymore.

The Leopard 2s are the most standard, but Ukraine is getting a bunch of different versions of this tank, including 2A4s, 2A5s, 2A5s (Stridsvagn 122) and 2A6s. There are differences between these versions that need to be learned in training.

The Challenger 2 is of the same era as the Leopard 2, but it uses a rifled 120 mm gun, which also required special ammunition.

Finally, the M1A1 Abrams can share ammo with the Leopard 2, but has a multi-fuel turbine engine, instead of a regular reciprocating engine with cylinders and pistons.

Abrams tanks can burn any fuel – diesel, petrol, vodka, doesn’t matter. They are powerful and resilient. However, these gas turbine engines do need a lot of care.

Forbes writes that despite the engines in the Abrams tanks costing an unbelievable amount of money, they can succumb to dust and debris if the crews don’t maintain the filters very well. This is something crews learn during long months of training, but the Ukrainian tankmen had to learn this very quickly.

If the tank filters are not cleaned every 12 hours or so, the damage can be so severe that the engine and possibly the transmission will need to be replaced. Obviously, in a battlefield that could bring the tank to a tragic ending.

How do you clean the filters? Ukrainian Abrams crews will have to rev the tank’s engine to redline twice a day to start the pulse-jet system and blow air through the filters clearing out the dust and debris.

Even with the filters being kept up to, the Arbams will cause some issues to the Ukrainian Ground Forces. These tanks use a lot of fuel and require deep maintenance, which will have to be performed in Poland. Getting them there will not be easy either, because the Abrams is rather heavy at over 62 tonnes.

However, the effectiveness of the main battle tank mostly depends on the tactics. And if the defenders of Ukraine manage to exploit the strong sides of the Abrams well, these tanks will do a lot of damage to the Russian invaders.

The first post of the new year and it regards a little project that kept me busy over the holidays which is detailed below. But first, over the last couple of weeks I am yet again having issues with Facebook – my Nemesis. I created a second business page which is a couple of years old now, as my original page was hacked.

Stay Safe and Save Money with Regular Car Maintenance

In today’s fast-paced world, our cars are more than just a means of transportation; they’re an integral part of our daily lives. Whether you’re commuting to work, running errands, or embarking on a road trip, a well-maintained vehicle is crucial for both safety and financial reasons. Regular car maintenance isn’t just about keeping your vehicle looking good; it’s about ensuring its longevity, performance, and most importantly, your safety on the road. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore why staying on top of your car’s maintenance schedule is essential and how it can save you money in the long run.

The Importance of Regular Maintenance

Safety First

The primary reason for regular car maintenance is safety. A well-maintained car is less likely to break down unexpectedly or malfunction while you’re driving. This reduces the risk of accidents caused by mechanical failures. Regular checks on crucial components like brakes, tires, lights, and steering systems ensure that your vehicle responds correctly when you need it most.

Cost Savings

While it might seem counterintuitive, spending money on regular maintenance can actually save you money in the long term. Small issues, when left unchecked, can escalate into major problems that are much more expensive to fix. For instance, regularly changing your oil (which is relatively inexpensive) can prevent engine damage that could cost thousands to repair.

Improved Performance and Fuel Efficiency

A car that receives regular maintenance runs more efficiently. This means better performance on the road and improved fuel economy. Simple tasks like keeping your tires properly inflated, changing air filters, and using the right grade of oil can significantly impact your car’s fuel consumption, saving you money at the pump.

Extended Vehicle Lifespan

Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your vehicle. By addressing wear and tear proactively, you’re preventing premature aging of your car’s components. This not only means you can keep your car longer but also that it will have a higher resale value when you decide to upgrade.

Essential Maintenance Tasks

Oil Changes

One of the most critical maintenance tasks is regular oil changes. Oil lubricates the engine’s moving parts, reducing friction and heat. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated, losing its effectiveness. Regular oil changes (typically every 3,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your vehicle and driving conditions) ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.

Tire Maintenance

Your tires are your car’s only contact with the road, making them crucial for safety. Regular tire maintenance includes:

Checking tire pressure monthly

Rotating tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles

Aligning wheels as needed

Replacing tires when tread depth is low

Proper tire maintenance improves handling, increases fuel efficiency, and extends tire life.

Brake System

Your brakes are arguably the most important safety feature of your car. Regular brake maintenance includes:

Checking brake fluid levels

Inspecting brake pads and rotors for wear

Replacing brake components as needed

Don’t ignore warning signs like squealing or grinding noises when braking.

Fluid Checks

Your car relies on various fluids to function properly. Regularly check and top up:

Engine oil

Coolant

Brake fluid

Power steering fluid

Transmission fluid

Windshield washer fluid

Low fluid levels can lead to poor performance and potential damage to your vehicle.

Battery Care

A dead battery can leave you stranded. Regular battery maintenance includes:

Cleaning battery terminals

Checking for corrosion

Testing battery charge

Most batteries last 3–5 years, so be prepared to replace yours when it shows signs of weakness.

Air Filter Replacement

Your engine’s air filter prevents debris from entering the engine. A clogged air filter can reduce fuel efficiency and engine performance. Replace it according to your manufacturer’s recommendations, typically every 15,000 to 30,000 miles.

DIY vs. Professional Maintenance

While some maintenance tasks can be done at home, others require professional expertise. Here’s a general guide:

DIY Tasks

Checking and topping up fluids

Replacing windshield wipers

Checking tire pressure

Replacing air filters

Basic battery maintenance

Professional Tasks

Oil changes (unless you’re comfortable doing it yourself)

Brake system maintenance

Tire rotation and alignment

Major fluid flushes (transmission, coolant)

Engine diagnostics and tune-ups

Always consult your owner’s manual for specific maintenance schedules and recommendations for your vehicle.

The Cost of Neglect

Neglecting car maintenance can lead to serious and expensive consequences:

Engine Failure: Skipping oil changes can lead to engine seizure, potentially costing thousands to repair or replace.

Transmission Problems: Ignoring transmission fluid changes can result in transmission failure, one of the most expensive car repairs.

Tire Blowouts: Neglecting tire maintenance increases the risk of blowouts, which can cause accidents and require costly replacements.

Brake System Failure: Worn brake components can fail catastrophically, leading to accidents and expensive repairs.

Decreased Fuel Efficiency: Poor maintenance leads to decreased fuel efficiency, costing you more at the pump.

Conclusion

Regular car maintenance is not just about preserving your vehicle; it’s about ensuring your safety, saving money, and contributing to a more sustainable approach to car ownership. By staying proactive with your car’s care, you’re investing in your safety, your wallet, and the longevity of your vehicle.

Remember, every car is different, so always refer to your owner’s manual for specific maintenance schedules and recommendations. Develop a relationship with a trusted mechanic or dealership for tasks beyond your expertise. With consistent care and attention, your car will serve you well for years to come, keeping you safe on the road and your finances in check.

By prioritizing regular maintenance, you’re not just caring for your car; you’re investing in peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel. Stay safe, save money, and enjoy the ride!

Maintaining the Heart of Your Porsche: A Comprehensive Guide to Engine Care

Do you know, the way your heart keeps you alive, the engine of your car also does the same. But do you take care of your car’s engine the way you take care of your heart? Stick to this article to attain some more knowledge regarding the engine care of your Porsche car. 

Overview of an Engine 

In simple words, the conversion of the heat energy produced by the ‘combustion of the fuel’ to mechanical energy for the movement of your car is the primary work of the engine. Nowadays, there are different types of engines being implemented in cars, but internal combustion engines are common among those. 

Firstly, the air gets mixed up in the fuel and once the intake valve opens, the air-fuel mixture passes into the combustion chamber.  The pressurization of the air-fuel mixture inside the intake valve makes it more combustible.

Then the spark plugs fire the air-fuel mixture followed by a mini explosion inside the engine. After the explosion the exhaust valve opens and the fumes are pushed out through the exhaust valve. These processes occur continuously in different cylinders in a proper sequence leading to the ignition of the Porsche car.

The components of the engine involved in the ignition of your car are valves, spark plugs, fuel injectors, cylinders, pistons, crankshaft camshaft, etc. 

Signs of defective Porsche Car Engine

Overheating 

Loss in power

Unusual noises

Excess vibrations

Leakage of different fluid

Blinking engine lights

Evacuation of fumes

Reduced mileage

Engine stalling

Degrading fuel economy

Rough idle

If your engine is experiencing any of the above signs, then your engine is in danger. You need to take essential steps so that without failing, it would be saved by taking proper actions. You should immediately consult your mechanic and ask him to first troubleshoot the issues correctly. Then provide the Porsche’s manual to the mechanic for a better understanding of your Porsche car engine’s structure. The issues can either be sorted by repairing the particular part of the engine or by replacing it.

How to take care of your Porsche car Engine

If you will properly take care of your Porsche car as a family member then the above situations will never arise. Mentioning below a few maintenance tips:

Maintaining the temperature of the engine is very necessary. So, you should regularly check the water pump, coolant, radiator, and thermostat to avoid over heating the engine. You can use 50 % coolant and 50 % distilled water to keep your engine healthy. 

As the engine oil lubricates all the components present inside the engine, it absorbs all the dirt and becomes unclean. So, check the engine oil every month and change if it is converting from amber color to black color.

Before going for a drive always check whether the garage has any oily spots on the ground or not, so that you will be able to know whether there is a leakage or not. Sometimes engine oil, brake oil, hydraulic steering fluid, coolant, etc used to leak due to a faulty engine.

If the dashboard light or head lights of your car flicker or blink then immediately get the light inspected by the local mechanic. 

Just like human lungs, if your Porsche car’s air filter is blocked by too much dirt then the mileage will degrade gradually. Just get the air filter clean so that your car can breathe properly.

If your fuel filter is clogged due to poor fuel quality, then your engine may misfire. So, always fill petrol or diesel of good quality.

Do not drive at high speed until and unless there is something urgent. Moderate speed is good for the engine’s health as well as reduces the chance of deadly accidents. 

You must visit the service center once every month to wash your car and for the whole-body check-up. 

Conclusion 

Hopefully after reading this article, you may have some basic knowledge regarding how the engine works, what can be the defects, how to fix the defects, and how to avoid converting a new healthy engine to a faulty one. Always keep your luxury Porsche car fit and fine to have a pleasurable ride with your loved ones.

 The Importance of Choosing the Right Lube Oil Filter Element - Filterselementsstrainers

The Guardians of Engine Cleanliness: A Look at Lube Oil Filter Elements

Filterselementsstrainers  are the unsung heroes Lube Oil Filters Elements of the automotive world. These small, unassuming components play a vital role in keeping engines clean and running smoothly. By filtering out contaminants like dirt, debris, and metal shavings, they prevent premature wear and tear, extending the life of your engine and saving you money on repairs.

The Different Types of Lube Oil Filter Elements

There are two main types of lube oil filter elements: full-flow and bypass. Full-flow elements filter all of the oil circulating through the engine, while bypass elements only filter a portion of the oil. Bypass elements are typically used in conjunction with full-flow elements to provide дополнительная защита.

 The filter media is typically made from paper, cellulose, or synthetic materials. As oil flows through the element, the contaminants are trapped in the media, while the clean oil flows on to the engine.

Bypass elements are typically smaller and simpler than full-flow elements. They состоят из a spring-loaded valve that opens when the oil pressure reaches a certain level. When the valve opens, a portion of the unfiltered oil bypasses the filter element and flows directly to the engine. This helps to protect the engine from damage in the event that the filter element becomes clogged.

Choosing the Right Lube Oil Filter Element

 You  can choose will depend on a number of factors, including the make and model of your engine, your driving conditions, and your budget. It is important to consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic to determine the correct filter element for your vehicle.

Once you have selected the right element, it is important to change it regularly. The frequency with which you need to change your filter element will depend on your driving habits and the рекомендации from your vehicle's manufacturer. Typically, it is a good idea to change your filter element every time you change your oil.

╰┈➤ hwang in-ho x player!reader imagine

a/n: i would like to give a special thank you to @lumillsie for the layout of this post and for the filter used on the header! there is also a part one to this imagine, playing dangerous, and a part two, do you think you’d kill for me, one day? i hope you enjoy reading! 🤍

˚ ༘♡ choosing to take up arms and align yourself with player 456’s desperate plan was not so much a choice as it was an ultimatum. to do nothing, continue playing by their sadistic rules, meant walking the same path to inevitable death. but this? this rebellion, this gamble to strike at the heart of the operation. a blaze of defiance instead of the slow suffocation of compliance.

˚ ༘♡ the gunfire came fast and relentless, each crack like lightning splitting the air around you. the deafening staccato of bullets ricocheted off the metal structures, sharp and unforgiving. you pressed yourself hard against the crimson barrier, your heart a violent drumbeat in your chest. each near miss tore at your nerves, leaving behind the bitter taste of survival.

˚ ༘♡ the red structures were impractical shelter, offering only the facade of safety. around you, the others fought back with what little ammunition and courage they had. some fired blindly, their hands shaking, others aimed with accuracy, faces set with the resilience of people who knew they may never see another day.

˚ ༘♡ the air reeked of gunpowder and sweat, and your own breath came in short, uneven bursts as you tried to steady your hands. the ground beneath you was littered with shell casings and splintered debris, each piece a fragment of the chaos you had willingly stepped into. a thought crossed your mind, whether this was bravery or madness. but the thought vanished as quickly as it came, drowned out by the next thunderous racket of gunfire.

˚ ༘♡ you don’t have time to think, only to act. your fingers find the magazine release instinctively, pressing it hard. the spent magazine drops to the ground, clattering louder than you’d like. your other hand is already reaching for a fresh one, fumbling for a second before finding it.

˚ ༘♡ the cool metal feels heavy in your palm as you slot it into the magazine well. you shove it upward until it clicks into place, a sound that’s both satisfying and urgent. your hand moves to the slide, gripping the serrated edges. you pull it back sharply, feeling the resistance, and let it snap forward with a crisp, metallic clank.

˚ ༘♡ your heart is racing, but your hands are steady. you flick the safety off with your thumb without even thinking about it. the gun is ready again, its weight familiar in your grip. you take a breath that doesn’t seem deep enough, your focus narrowing as you lift the weapon and prepare to fire at the masked men who stand across in another block structure.

˚ ༘♡ player 001 had insisted you stay behind. his voice was grounded, almost gentle, as he took your hand, his rough fingers a stark contrast to the warmth in his tone. “this plan is reckless,” he said, his expression unreadable except for the glint of concern in his dark eyes. “we have enough people. you don’t need to put yourself in danger.” but his attempt at reassurance only fueled your resolve.

˚ ༘♡ “if you’re not staying behind, neither am i,” you replied, your voice firm, though your heart pounded like a war drum. his face darkened with vexation, but he didn’t argue further, young-il knew he could not change your mind.

˚ ༘♡ crouched behind the unforgiving cover of the red structure, your hands trembled as you clutched the empty weapon. “i’m out of ammo,” you called, your voice barely cutting through the raucous chaos around you.

˚ ༘♡ gi-hun and jung-bae had disappeared minutes ago, slipping into the chaos to infiltrate the control room. every second they were gone stretching unbearably thin. around you, the others were panicking. shouts rose above the gunfire, “almost out!” player 246 hollered, “running low!” player 120 yelled out, desperation laced every shout.

˚ ༘♡ young-il’s radio crackled to life, gi-hun’s strained voice breaking through. “we’re running out of ammo here. there are more magazines on the guards, someone has to get them. hurry!”

˚ ༘♡ the moment the line went dead, young-il turned to the group. unlike the others, he was calm, his face as still as stone, his composure a striking contrast to the pandemonium. his eyes swept over each of you, calculating, deliberate. “four of us will move to back them up,” he said, his voice even, “but someone has to retrieve the magazines from the guards.”

˚ ༘♡ you felt the weight of his gaze settle on you for a moment longer than the others. your stomach tightened. the bodies of the masked men were out there, sprawled in the open, exposed under relentless gunfire. retrieving the magazines meant running into certain danger.

˚ ༘♡ “i’ll go!” dae-ho shouted, his voice quivering. his hands shook as he clutched his weapon, his knuckles white against the grip. before anyone could argue, he pushed himself to his feet and sprinted into the open, his silhouette a vulnerable target in the chaos. bullets ricocheted off nearby walls, sparks flying like tiny explosions. player 120 darted after him, crouching low and firing in short bursts to cover his reckless charge.

˚ ༘♡ young-il, player 047, and player 015 began moving toward the exit. you didn’t hesitate to follow, the worn soles of your shoes crunching against the debris-strewn ground. before you could take more than a few steps, young-il stopped abruptly, turning to face you. his stern gaze locked onto yours, “stay here,” he said, his voice low.

˚ ༘♡ your chest tightened with frustration, and you met his command with a sharp glare. “i can’t stay out here,” you hissed, your voice barely louder than the chaos around you. “how can i stand by knowing you’ll be in danger while i sit here, doing nothing? i can help.”

˚ ༘♡ his expression darkened, his face hardening as his jaw tightened. the faint lines around his eyes deepened into sharp creases, the wear of age etched into his skin. you could see the conflict inside him, his instinct to protect you clashing with the knowledge that he couldn’t stop you. his shoulders sagged ever so slightly, a reluctant surrender.

˚ ༘♡ he didn’t argue further. instead, he turned sharply and continued toward the exit, his steps heavier than before. you followed close behind, the cold air biting at your face and your hands shaking.

˚ ༘♡ once inside, the oppressive silence of the corridors was shattered by the sharp crack of gunfire echoing through the narrow passageways. your boots slid against the blood-slick floors, the dark streaks smearing across the ground like grotesque markers guiding your way. shattered shell casings crunched underfoot, their metallic edges catching the dim light as you moved in tight formation behind the others.

˚ ༘♡ the sounds grew louder with every turn, each burst of gunfire sending a jolt through your chest. when you reached the source, your heart sank. gi-hun and jung-bae were pinned down behind a stack of crates, their weapons barking in quick bursts as masked men returned fire from the opposite end of the hall. “the control room is there!” gi-hun shouted, his voice strained as he gestured toward a guarded staircase. the veins in his neck stood out with the effort.

˚ ༘♡ young-il’s gaze darted between the staircase and gi-hun, his expression grim. “i’m nearly out of ammo,” he said, his voice undisturbed despite the chaos around him.

˚ ༘♡ gi-hun didn’t hesitate. he reached into his pocket, retrieving a magazine with shaky fingers. “here,” he said, extending it toward young-il. “it’s my last one.”

˚ ༘♡ young-il’s eyes flicked to the magazine, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face. “are you sure?” he asked, his tone measured, though the tension in his voice was unmistakable.

˚ ༘♡ gi-hun nodded. “dae-ho will be back with more. now go!”

˚ ༘♡ young-il looked as though he might argue, yet with a reluctant nod, he took the magazine. sliding it into his weapon, he jerked his head toward the opposite direction. “this way,” he commanded.

˚ ༘♡ you fell in step beside him, your shoulder brushing his as you moved. the air felt thick, you couldn’t help but glance at young-il, his face a mask of stable focus.

˚ ༘♡ arriving at another stairwell, the tension in the air felt suffocating, every step heavy with the weight of what might come next. player 047 and player 015 moved quickly, their rifles poised as they positioned themselves near the walls, peering toward the masked guards above.

˚ ༘♡ you and young-il lingered behind them. he reloaded his rifle with the magazine gi-hun had given him. your hands tightening around your weapon. the cold metal felt heavier than ever, slick with the sweat of your palms. you tried to calm your breathing, to ready yourself for the chaos that was certain to erupt. beside you, young-il raised his gun, his posture steady and unshaken. you followed his lead, preparing for the onslaught, waiting for the inevitable storm of bullets. the shots rang out, but they weren’t aimed at the guards.

˚ ༘♡ the first sharp crack reverberated through the stairwell, a deafening sound that seemed to shatter the air. player 047 jerked forward, his body crumpling to the ground like a discarded puppet. his rifle clattered away, the life drained from him in an instant.

˚ ༘♡ before the echo of the first shot faded, another followed, sharp and final. player 015 collapsed, his body writhing as blood began to trickle beneath him. he let out a guttural, choked gasp, his hands clawing weakly at the ground as he struggled to breathe. his voice, broken and trembling, was barely audible as he begged for mercy, his words dissolving into wet, rasping breaths.

˚ ༘♡ you stood paralyzed, the scene before you unspooling in a sickening blur. player 047’s body lay still, his eyes vacant, while player 015 twitched helplessly, his life draining away with each agonized second.

˚ ༘♡ your eyes went to young-il, who remained motionless, his gun still raised. his expression was cold, unreadable, as if the weight of what he had done didn’t touch him at all. there was no hesitation in his actions, no flicker of remorse in his eyes.

˚ ༘♡ the distant echoes of gunfire and screams drowned out by the discordant pounding of your own heartbeat. your mind raced, grasping for something, anything, to make sense of what was happening, but your body refused to move. your breath caught in your throat as young-il turned toward you, his weapon still raised, the barrel gleaming under the light.

˚ ༘♡ time seemed to stretch as the frigid metal pressed against your forehead, the faint scrape of the barrel against your skin sending a chill down your spine. his eyes, once a source of reassurance, now bore into you with an intensity that felt almost inhuman. they weren’t angry, but calculating. you opened your mouth to speak, to plead, to demand answers, but no sound came. the words were trapped, strangled by a fear that gripped your chest.

˚ ༘♡ for a vanishing moment, hope sparked when he lowered the gun. relief struck you so abruptly it nearly made your knees give out. that hope shattered as quickly as it came. he aimed the gun not at your chest, but lower. you barely registered what was happening before the deafening crack of the shot filled the air.

˚ ༘♡ the agony radiating from your shattered knee. it was as if every nerve in your body had been set ablaze, the pain so consuming it blurred your vision and stole the breath from your lungs. blood gushed from the wound, pooling rapidly beneath you.

˚ ༘♡ you clawed at the ground, desperate for anything to anchor you as your body convulsed with the shock of the injury. tears streamed down your face, hot and uncontrollable, as a strangled cry escaped your lips. the cold floor beneath you seemed to pull the heat from your body, leaving you trembling and vulnerable.

˚ ༘♡ through the haze of agony, you forced your gaze upward, meeting his cold, unflinching eyes. “why?” you rasped, your voice barely audible over the pounding in your ears. the word was a broken plea, filled with pain and betrayal, though deep down, you already knew no answer could justify what he had done.

˚ ༘♡ young-il stalked over to player 047’s lifeless body, his demeanor disturbingly composed despite the carnage surrounding you both. crouching beside the corpse, he grabbed the sleeve of the dead man’s jacket, his fingers curling around the fabric. with a deliberate pull, he tore a strip from the bloodied material.

˚ ༘♡ you writhed where you lay, the searing pain in your knee refusing to relent. blood continued to seep from the wound, its warmth pooling beneath you in thick, sticky smears. your breathing came in short, erratic gasps

˚ ༘♡ he returned to you, the strip of fabric clutched in his hand like a twisted tool of control. his presence loomed over you, suffocating in its quiet intensity. you flinched as he knelt beside you, the smell of blood and sweat clinging to him, a grotesque reminder of what he’d done.

˚ ༘♡ without warning, his hand shot out, his grip firm as he seized your chin. the sudden pressure forced your head off the cold, blood-slick floor, and you gasped, your lips trembling as you struggled to focus through the pain clouding your vision. his touch was rigid, his fingers digging into the tender flesh of your jaw.

˚ ༘♡ young-il worked methodically, winding the fabric around your mouth. you tried to jerk your head away, but his grip tightened, holding you in place as he secured the knot at the back of your head. the coarse material bit into the corners of your mouth, the taste of grime and death filling your senses as your cries were reduced to stifled, pitiful sounds.

˚ ༘♡ when he finally let go of your chin, your head hit the floor with a thud that seemed to echo inside your skull. the pain was sharp, but it paled in comparison to the turmoil raging within you. confusion clawed at your thoughts, tangled with disbelief so heavy it was suffocating. this was young-il, the man who had stood beside you, risked his life for you. you couldn’t reconcile the murderous figure before you with the person who had once seemed so kind, so loyal. why? the question screamed in your mind, louder than the agony in your leg or the blood pounding in your ears.

˚ ༘♡ he pulled the portable radio from his pocket, the cold efficiency of his actions cutting deeper than any bullet could. he walked over to where player 015 lay, choking on his own blood, the pitiful sound barely audible between gurgling gasps. kneeling down beside him, young-il’s voice changed, slipping into a grotesque mockery of grief and desperation.

˚ ༘♡ “i’m sorry, gi-hun,” he said, his voice uneven, laced with feigned exhaustion. “it’s over.”

˚ ༘♡ your eyes widened as the meaning of his words sank in. you thrashed against the bindings around your mouth, your muffled screams raw and desperate as you tried to drown out his lie. gi-hun needed to hear the truth, that young-il betrayed them, but the gag stifled every sound.

˚ ༘♡ young-il pressed the radio closer to player 015, holding it just inches from the man’s face. the wet, ragged gasps of the dying player filled the channel. you watched in horror as young-il’s hand rested on the radio. it was cruel, calculated, a performance designed to destroy any hope gi-hun might have left.

˚ ༘♡ with a flick of his finger, he silenced the radio. the stairwell was suddenly quiet except for your muted weeping and the faint rasp of player 015’s fading breaths. young-il stood over him, his gun raised once more. there was no hesitation, no emotion as he pulled the trigger. the crack of the shot was deafening, the sound of it reverberating off the concrete walls and leaving an emptiness in its wake.

˚ ༘♡ the silence that followed was unbearable. it pressed down on you, crushing your chest, as the weight of his betrayal settled fully in your mind. young-il turned, his face as calm as ever, and you felt your stomach twist. “i’m sorry,” young-il murmured. your heart sank as you convinced yourself this was it. he was going to kill you, finish what he started and tie up loose ends.

˚ ༘♡ instead, he turned and walked away, his footsteps unhurried. the sound of them faded into the distance. confusion churned in your chest, mingling with the pain that consumed your body. why leave you in such a pathetic state? surely, even he wouldn’t be so brutal as to condemn you to bleed out slowly, to suffer alone in agony until death finally claimed you.

˚ ༘♡ time became meaningless as you lay there. blood seeped from your shattered knee in hot, pulsing waves, the sticky warmth swarming beneath you, soaking into your clothes. the air grew colder, or maybe it was you, the life draining from your body, inch by inch. you couldn’t tell if a minute had passed or an hour.

˚ ༘♡ somewhere far away, gunshots cracked. a scream came, a piercing, gut-wrenching sound that sent a shiver crawling up your spine despite your weakening state, unmistakably gi-hun. you refused to consider what might have happened, it was far too devastating.

˚ ༘♡ and then, footsteps.

˚ ༘♡ as the figure emerged into view, a dreadful realization set in. it wasn’t anyone you recognized.

˚ ༘♡ tall and imposing, the stranger was clad in sleek black from head to toe. the fabric of their attire shimmered faintly under the dim light, perfectly fitted, without a single crease or flaw. their face was concealed by an angular black mask, its pristine surface reflecting nothing, revealing nothing, not even a hint of the eyes beneath.

˚ ༘♡ your mind, dulled by pain and blood loss, struggled to comprehend the sight. fear should have seized you, but your body was too weak, your thoughts too fractured to muster a response. when the figure crouched beside you, their movements swift and efficient, you didn’t resist as they ripped the gag from your mouth.

˚ ༘♡ “who… who are you?” you managed to slur, your voice barely audible.

˚ ༘♡ the figure didn’t answer. they didn’t hesitate. one gloved hand cradled the back of your head, tilting it upward with unsettling care, while the other hand brought a cloth to your face. the sharp, chemical scent hit you instantly, chloroform.

˚ ༘♡ panic flared, yet it was short-lived. the edges of your vision blurred, your body growing heavier, like you were sinking into a dark, bottomless pit. the last thing you saw was the smooth, featureless mask staring down at you, icy and unfeeling, before the world faded into black.
