I never understood the allure of playing the hero. The idea of sacrificing oneself for others, of putting oneself in harm's way for the greater good, it never quite made sense to me. Yet, here I am, confronted with the aftermath of one such hero's actions.
Player 456, or Seong Gi-hun as he's known outside the confines of the Squid Game, thought he could be the savior. He thought he could outsmart the system, defy the odds, and emerge victorious. But as I watched him struggle, as I watched him lose everything he held dear, I couldn't help but feel a sense of vindication.
You see, in the world of the Squid Game, there are no heroes. There are only players, pawns in a larger game that I orchestrate. And yet, 456 believed he could be different. He believed he could be the exception to the rule. But in the end, he learned the hard way that in the Squid Game, no one is safe.
It serves as a lesson, not just for 456, but for all who dare to challenge the system. The Squid Game is not a place for heroes. It is a place for survival, for cunning, for ruthlessness. And in that world, there is no room for sentimentality, for compassion, for heroics.
So, to 456, I say this: next time, don't be so heroic. Next time, remember the rules of the game. Next time, remember that in the Squid Game, there are no heroes, only survivors. And in that world, survival is the only victory that matters.
