Aecha’s voice trembled with urgency. “Taki. That’s K’s brother! Y/N was talking about him!”

The name Y/N struck Nicholas like a jolt of electricity. The realization dawned that you were also in danger. The game was far from over. With renewed determination, Nicholas and Hanbin prepared to join this new group, ready to rescue the two people who meant the world to them.

Taki was their light. You were their ghost. And now, they were ready to confront whatever horrors lay ahead to save you both.

They had already broken him, tearing him apart again and again, dragging you away from him for the past two months.

Every day, every hour, every second was a relentless torment. K’s despair was a suffocating blanket over his heart. The isolation, the silence—it was a nightmare made worse by the persistent absence of your voice. The hope of hearing you again was a cruel illusion, taunting him as he awaited the inevitable.

The worst day came when they brought him to the lab, a sterile room that reeked of fear and suffering. The room was lined with cold metal tables and harsh lights that bore down like a relentless interrogation. It was there, amidst the clinical chaos, that K’s world shattered once more.

There, standing in a daze, was Taki. His once-chubby cheeks were hollow, his playful eyes now vacant. The cheerful smile that had once brightened K’s darkest days was gone, replaced by a haunting emptiness.

His brother, the beacon of his hope, was alive but in a state far worse than death.

The sight of Taki, so frail and broken, was more than K could bear. The sight of his brother in such a pitiful state drove him to his knees. With a desperation born from agony, K crawled forward and clung to one of the scientist’s shoes, his hands trembling.

“Please,” K’s voice broke into a desperate plea, “you can do anything to me. Kill me. Hurt me. But please, not Taki. Not my brother. Please!”

The words, raw with anguish, penetrated the sterile, indifferent air of the lab.

For a moment, there was a flicker of recognition in Taki’s eyes. He snapped out of his trance, his gaze focusing on his brother. The sight of K, so broken and pleading, stirred something deep within him.

Taki’s voice, though weak, was filled with resolve. “No,” he said, his voice trembling. “No. I’m tired of everyone wanting to protect me. It’s time I let myself be the sacrifice.”

The gravity of his words hit K like a physical blow. The room, once filled with the sounds of cold machinery and distant suffering, seemed to close in around them. Taki’s resolve was a dagger to K’s heart, cutting deep into his very soul.

The ticking of the clock was relentless, marking the seconds as they passed with cruel indifference. Time seemed to stretch and contract, each moment heavy with the weight of impending doom. K’s heart pounded, a relentless drumbeat that seemed to echo the agony of the moment.

The finality of Taki’s statement hung in the air, a somber reminder of the choices they faced. The click of the clock, the ticking of time, were the only witnesses to their suffering.

In this cruel game of fate, the question remained: who would be their savior?

Would it be the bond of brotherhood that transcended their suffering? Or would a stranger, a beacon of hope yet unseen, arrive in their final moments to alter the course of their fate?

In the sterile, harsh light of the lab, with K’s anguished pleas and Taki’s resignation echoing off the cold walls, the future seemed uncertain. The only certainty was the relentless passage of time and the fading hope that somewhere, somehow, a savior might emerge.

As the lab’s harsh lights bathed them in an unforgiving glare, the final breath of their shared despair hung in the balance. The end was approaching, and whether it would come as a deliverance or a final act of sacrifice remained unknown.

The world outside continued its indifferent march, while within those walls, two brothers faced their darkest hour, clinging to the fragile thread of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, salvation might come in the final, breathless moments of their existence.
