   Summary

   Gihun makes it after the events of the game after all. and he wakes up to 'Youngil" in the hospital. The person that helped the man behind it all, now helps Gihun recover. But he's no one Gihun assumed him to be, or no one at all. He's role after role with no permanence.

   Could a man like that relearn to be human again? Could Gihun forget everything and leave it all behind? Could he forgive him? Would he understand the consequences of his actions?

    

   Happy (?) 1 year of Squid Game 3!
