• Ep. 3
  The group gathers around a birthday cake, their initial cheerfulness masking the tension in the air. Someone notices a missing candle, and after correcting it, they begin singing "Happy Birthday."

Someone nervously asks, “What happens if we break the rules?” The response is chilling: “It will explode.” The second rule reveals a brief window of relief between 9 PM and 7 AM, but the tension escalates as one member repeatedly mutters, “I’ll be trapped,” their voice trembling with fear. The third rule warns that only hot water is available from 7 PM to midnight, and consuming any other liquid outside that time is forbidden. The fourth rule is the most unsettling: players must remain cheerful at all times during the game. Laughter echoes unnaturally as someone jokes, “If you’re not happy, you’ll be trapped.” The group’s anxiety peaks as the game begins, and one member, Lao Zhao, seems to be losing his grip, repeating his name and the word “medicine” in a desperate mantra.
