Summary
Thanos stares down at the ball in his hands with a sense of rising dread.
The object itself poses no issue. Round, shiny, entirely harmless. He shifts the item around his ringed fingers, examining the blurry, muddled reflection that shines back at him through the sphere. The issue isn't the object itself. It’s the color.
Light blue, the same color as the sky outside in the real world. Slowly, he turns his head towards where Nam-gyu stands in the crowd, his own plastic ball held tightly in his grasp. Blood red instead of blue — they’ve been placed on opposing teams.

Summary
Nam-gyu resists the urge to tell him to hurry up. The cold is unrelenting, the type that makes him want to crawl out of his own skin. The lack of clothes certainly doesn’t help with that, and while Nam-gyu can still hear the way Thanos shuffles around, there’s a primal fear within him that he’ll be left behind, tied up and defenseless.

[The games end. The odd sense of partnership that’s unfolded between Thanos and Nam-gyu does not.]
