So, does this game look familiar? The kind where your very life is on the line, and human emotions can be tossed around like spare change. The figure here has no face, because it isn’t just one specific person—it could be me, you, any of us, dragged into this brutal survival contest (even if we never chose to play). Some are already out, and who knows who’s next—maybe you, maybe me, or someone else?
There’s really no ‘winning’ in a game like this—your only option is to hang on for as long as you can without becoming just another faceless number. And holding on to your humanity when everything’s at stake? That might be the toughest challenge of all.
