Apparently the Squid Game director made the cast test out the pentathlon game to figure out the right time limit, and now all I can picture is a cursed behind-the-scenes AU where Inho is like:

“Circle guards, we’re playtesting. Mask up. Game time.”

So now you’ve got a bunch of poor exhausted guards, who thought today was just gonna be corpse disposal and trauma, suddenly lined up for Red Light, Green Light like it’s gym class. And then Inho shows up—fully masked, trench coat flapping in the wind like some kind of dystopian PE teacher—and joins the game.

He’s doing everything with them, completely dead serious. They’re crawling through the honeycomb challenge and Inho’s right there, carving his shape with surgeon-level precision, muttering “Inconsistent sugar texture. We need a 12.3% longer boil.” like it’s a bomb diffusal exercise.

Do you ever think the reason why In-ho didn’t give himself his old number (132) when infiltrating the game (since he gave Gi-hun his old 456 number) is because he was still traumatized and suffering from PTSD of his time as Player 132?

Of course, he was willing to trigger Gi-hun’s trauma by making him Player 456 again (that’s the point) but not his own by making himself Player 132 again.

My thoughts, either he was so triggered by his old 132 number that he was willing to go as Player 001 and risk Gi-hun suspecting him (another 001) or he was that curious and wanted to see if Gi-hun would suspect another 001 (or if Gi-hun’s willingness to trust and see good in people would triumph over that).

Which also led me to think… would In-ho be triggered or how triggered would he be if the new Player 132 (that wasn’t In-ho) was also a husband who needed the money to cover his pregnant wife’s medical bills and save her life and the unborn child’s.
