Everyone was dressed differently. Some were clad like Eastern or Western princes and princesses, some like warriors from a sci-fi movie, others like ancient knights or martial heroes, and some wore traditional attire from various countries. Meanwhile, only I—dressed in a loose, light-green casual outfit—stood out as utterly out of place.

Through conversation, I learned that the three digits on our chests weren’t just room numbers—they also served as our identifiers.

So, from now on, I was to be called "043."
