Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

– What a surprise! The moment of a difficult choice has arrived, Friend.

Braun's cheerful voice echoed in my ear.

– So, Mr. Roe Deer, you have only 10 passes in hand, but there are 45 poor candidates who must fall into that wretched altar of rotting flesh to suffer. What criteria will you use to select the 45 sacrifices and then choose the 10 lucky ones to be spared?

– A trial? A vote? A review process? A lottery? Oh, it all sounds terribly unfortunate...

Braun's voice grew more and more excited.

– But isn't that tension, pressure, suspense, relief, joy, and despair the essence of a great show?

– This is the ultimate moment. Ah! Look over there—a panelist is speaking!

At that moment—

"It doesn't matter, does it?"

Assistant Manager Jin Nasol spoke up.

"Assistant Manager?"

"Whether there are 10 painkillers or just one, what difference does it make? Just grab 45 people and throw them out. That's all."
