    Pine knew this would happen eventually. He didn't expect it to feel like this. Like finding kinship at the end of the world.

    Summary

    “There was another in our group,” says Rick. “Got separated when our camp was overrun.” He thinks of chestnut-dark hair and eyes the blue of the Chattahoochee in spring, but these aren’t people he knows and this isn’t a poetry class. “Brown hair, blue eyes. Carries a crossbow. You seen him?”

    And at Abraham’s who is he to you, Rick says without missing a beat, “He’s my husband.”

    Summary

    “Young-il! I know you’re there! Face me, you coward! FACE ME!”

     His voice bounced off the walls, ragged with fury and heartbreak. In-ho couldn’t bring himself to look away. Gi-hun stood alone, Jun-hee’s baby cradled against his chest, swaying slightly as if the weight might drag him down.

    The VIPs beside him stirred. He could hear the rustle of fur, the clink of ice in crystal glasses, the irritation of people unaccustomed to dealing with real human emotion.

    “What’s he doing?” Eagle asked lazily. “He won, why is he so angry?”

    “You’re asking why the maniac who came back willingly is angry?” Panther replied, already bored again.

    But In-ho knew. He was daring In-ho to talk to him again. Because they both knew that he had just lost. When Player 333—one who had proven himself to be nothing but selfish and self-serving—had said, “Look after her,” then started the game, and thrown himself off the platform before Gi-hun could even blink, Gi-hun had proven that his faith in humanity wasn’t misplaced.

    Summary

    In-ho has one chance to convince Gi-hun to join him as his right-hand-man, or else the VIPs want him dead. He agrees.

    Because In-ho is right. The rebellion didn't work. It was never going to work. The players are simply too far removed from the people really in charge. Even killing the Front Man would only result in a replacement Front Man. But as the Front Man's protégé, Gi-hun can make a difference. He can do what he can for the players from above, rather than below. He can investigate the gold-masked men. He can scheme.

    There's light in the darkness. In-ho helps Gi-hun get Ga-yeong back. He teaches him how to fight, how to survive in this deadly world. Slowly, slowly, they begin to trust each other. (The kissing happens long before the trust.)

    Gi-hun uses his new power, undreamt of in his old life, to do what he never did before: think only of others. And the luxury helps, the high-end alcohol helps, but of course he's still tortured by guilt. But at least they're tortured together, and take sanctuary in each other. Gi-hun gets to fight in favor of the players; In-ho gets to not be alone. They both got what they wanted.

    Begins immediately following the events of S2.
