Work Text:
ONE: CIRCULATION
The circulation of blood through his body was lacking. It resulted in Luka always being cold and wanting the warmth of another for himself. He was lucky that Hyuna and Hyun-Woo readily provided that warmth when they were still a group. Now he can't help but want the warmth of one in this cold, cold room where he's all alone.
TWO: CENTER
Sua was the center of Mizi's world — she was her goddess and universe. Mizi was the center of Sua's world. Mizi was also the center of Till's world. While Ivan... Ivan would never be the center of someone's world, but he's long since come to terms with it. As long as he can see till, Ivan will be fine.
THREE: SENSITIVITY
His opponents were too sensitive — just one reminder of their dead loved ones, whether romantically or not, was enough to tick off that pink girl and the grey boy — it was pitiful, really.
FOUR: RIGHT
Hyuna and Hyun-Woo were twins; born looking the same and acted similarly to each other with similar senses of justice and of the world — the one difference between them was that Hyuna was always Hyun-Woo's right hand and Hyun-Woo was always Hyuna's left hand. Too bad she lost her left hand though.
FIVE: BRILLIANCE
The brilliance of a star blinded Ivan — perhaps that's why he couldn't accept the fact that Till gave up during their round and got himself killed instead.
SIX: PROMOTION
Hyuna was terrified when Dewey arrived, carrying an injured and thoroughly tortured Jacob into their base — and felt her blood run cold when Jacob breathed his last words and she was handed the mantle of leader.
SEVEN: MARINE
Sua always associated Mizi with jellyfish — it reminded of her of the day they first met in those pods — she didn't anticipate that she'd genuinely be so similar to a jellyfish; an innocent, kind soul — Sua wanted to protect that innocence.
EIGHT: FRIEND
Hyun-Woo thought they were friends, that Luka was his friend — he thought wrong.
NINE: REFERENCE
He perfected his imitations endlessly and performed them without fail — after all, how else would he get those reactions out of his two opponents who didn't forfeit?
TEN: FUNCTION
Till didn't know how his brain was supposed to function after all the twists and turns of his love life — from crushing on Mizi to that unprompted and unprecedented kiss from Ivan, Till didn't know how to process it all. He's still pretty he has some type of feelings for Mizi, but damn Ivan for messing with his brain. Till initially hated the guy and thought he hated him too since Ivan always caused fights, whether physical or verbal, with him and stole his stuff! But now? It's a fucking mess up in Till's brain because now he had to compute the fact that Ivan must have had some kind of feelings for him because why else would Ivan kiss him if not for the fact that he had feelings?
ELEVEN: DILUTE
Most people dilute Hyun-Woo down into a puddle of incompetency and inadequacy, but to Hyuna, he was the most perfect being in the world since he was so unapologetically himself and lived for himself in the sense that he didn't let people control him and rather used people's views of himself to further his goals and shock them while caring about those he loves.
TWELVE: ARTIFICIAL
He didn't know how to categorize himself — he certainly wasn't human; he didn't feel humane with how artificial he felt — he had clones that Heperu told him was his brothers and sisters but really, they were just there to be his organ donors — he had artificial organs and through that logic he thought he couldn't possibly be human – but Hyuna said he was, so he is.
