" things we lost to the flames - things we'll never see again. "
ARTIE IS SICK OF NOT KNOWING WHO TO TRUST.
things were supposed to be different once they escaped the maze. they were supposed to be free, and they were supposed to be far away from the cruel clutches of wckd - and they thought they were.
that is, of course, until aris, the only other member of group b that has made it to the compound alongside her, tells her about things he's been seeing in the middle of the night. she doesn't believe him until she sees it for herself.
once again, she's faced with escaping wckd, and this time, her way out is not as simple or obvious as navigating a maze. artie finds herself stuck with a group of boys she barely knows, in an unfamiliar, hostile world.

artie and the others are hellbent on proving him wrong.
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
OR
Y/n wakes up in the deadly Squid Game, surrounded by strangers and fighting to survive. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Frontman is watching her every move through the cameras- and she's caught his attention.
