"We are not horses. We are humans. Humans are..."
Gi-hun couldn't finish that sentence - not because he didn't know what to say, but because the truth about humanity is too heavy to put into words. Humanity is complicated. Cruel. Beautiful. Broken. It can't be explained in a single sentence. When he said, "We are not horses," he was calling out how VIPs treated players as entertainment, as animals to bet on. Just like horses used in wars and races, players were pushed to their limits, used, discarded. That's the whole point of Squid Game: humans are dehumanized for the sake of profit and power. And the child who won? It wasn't just a coincidence. Someone always has to sacrifice themselves for someone else in order to live. Even if it's a child who survives, it's because someone good gave their all. Squid Game shows that in this world, good people often suffer while bad people wait for karma to come, if it ever comes. All the players were poor. But they weren't just chasing money, they were chasing hope, a second chance, a way out. The game was built to reveal something deeper than the harsh truth about humanity. Ultimately, Gi-hun didn't need to finish that sentence because the entire story of Squid Game already did.
