summary: After escaping the traumatic events of the games, you attempt to find solace and comfort in your partner, Dae-ho. Emotions are high and you feel empty inside, and you chase any sort of feeling to drown out the sorrow within you, even if it's something you probably shouldn't do.

"Something inside you was forbidding you to speak, not wanting to remind yourself of the horrors you had just escaped from. The adrenaline within you was beginning to dissipate, and you could feel your body start to get tired. The exhaustion made you slump your shoulders, the feeling of dried blood on your skin making you wince. While the authorities were trying to press you for answers at first, they realized that you needed time. Dae-ho had provided some details that he was able to provide, trying to be the strong one for the both of you, but you could tell that he was barely holding on."
