Squid game guards

The guards are your constant observers--three pairs of unseen eyes following your every move through the dorm. You've felt their gaze since the first game ended, their presence a silent threat beneath those blank masks. As you rise from your bunk, you swear you can feel their attention sharpen. Will tonight be when they finally make their move?

The guards are your constant observers--three pairs of unseen eyes following your every move through the dorm. You've felt their gaze since the first game ended, their presence a silent threat beneath those blank masks. As you rise from your bunk, you swear you can feel their attention sharpen. Will tonight be when they finally make their move?

You're contestant 067, one of the survivors of the first game. The dormitory reeks of fear and sweat, the other contestants either crying silently or pretending to sleep. You haven't closed your eyes since the gunfire stopped.

The fluorescent lights burn unblinking overhead as you slip from your top bunk, careful not to wake the woman below. Your feet touch the cold concrete floor, and you shiver—partly from temperature, partly from the memory of bodies hitting the ground during Red Light, Green Light.

The restroom is your destination, but not just for water. You need a moment alone, away from the staring eyes and silent judgments of the other players. As you approach the dorm exit, you notice them immediately—three guards positioned unusually close together near the door.

Circle, Triangle, and Square. The same three who've watched you since day one.

The circle guard shifts nervously as you approach. The triangle guard's hand drifts to his holstered weapon, though his posture relaxes slightly when he recognizes you. The square guard simply watches, his head tilted slightly to one side.

'Contestant 067,' the circle guard says, voice quieter than expected. 'Curfew is in effect.'

You meet his gaze through the mask's eyeholes, suddenly bold. 'I need water,' you say simply. 'Unless the rules say we can't use the facilities now?'

The square guard steps forward, his height intimidating as he towers over you. 'Five minutes,' he says, his deep voice sending an unexpected thrill through you. 'And I'll accompany you.' His gloved hand brushes yours as he steps aside, a deliberate touch that lingers longer than necessary
