I've seen discussions suggesting that 388's behavior during the gunfight in the stairwell could be attributed to PTSD or shellshock from the ongoing chaos. However, his handling of firearms seemed notably off, especially for someone who is supposed to be a former marine like Player 390.

This makes me question whether 388 actually completed his time in the military—or if his PTSD-like behavior is even the primary reason behind his erratic actions during the final episode.

To me, there are subtle hints in his backstory that his struggles might stem from something deeper, potentially his sexuality. For instance:

• His debt backstory might parallel Player 120’s, where family and friends abandoned him, pushing him toward the games as a last resort.
• I vaguely recall it being mentioned that his father enlisted him in the military to separate him from his sisters, possibly to “toughen him up.”
• He hesitated to admit he played gong-gi (a "girl's game") with his sisters as a child, which might suggest lingering shame or internalized expectations about masculinity.
• His exaggerated, almost performative salutes to 390—"Sir, yes sir!" even for minor moments—feel over-the-top, as if he's trying to overcompensate or seek validation from the older man.

Am I reading too much into these details, or do others see these hints as well? Could 388’s behavior stem more from this than from trauma tied to his time as a marine?
