Synopsis

The chapter opens with the return of a character, possibly the titular 'player.' He is met with disbelief and anger from another character who is enraged by a seemingly petty act - the spilling of kimchi jjigae. The returning character displays a somewhat strange and boastful attitude, leading to a shouting match where the spilled food is treated as an almost sacred object. It's clear there's a power dynamic at play, and likely a past history between the characters.
