squid game Season 2 Episode 2 introduces Park Gyu-young's character No-eul through her work at the amusement park - and we initially see her through the eyes of a young girl named Na-yeon. Na-yeon is rejected when theme park employees hand out lollipopsbut No-eul finally notices her and gives her sweets. No-eul is the only employee to do this, and when she quits to become one of the Masked Men, Na-yeon is disappointed with the pink bunny No-eul used to wear.
Na-yeon's sequel to squid game season two is heartbreaking and has an even more tragic meaning behind it. Watching the young woman - who, we're told, has blood cancer - be rejected by theme park employees evokes a strong feeling of injustice, and it's compounded by No-eul's dismissal. Na-yeon's drawing squid game Season 2 Episode 2 shows how much she appreciates the bunny noticing her and giving her a lollipop. It's not entirely clear why No-eul's coworker continually ignores herbut that could actually be the point.
There's no real explanation for why Na-yeon was passed over for the lollipops
The randomness of this squid game scene is probably the point
squid game the second season never explains why No-eul's coworker passes her by when handing out lollipops, but the randomness might actually be the point. There is no rhyme or reason to the way Na-yeon is treated at the amusement park. The man who ignores her clearly knows who she is, but doesn't seem to have a personal vendetta against her. It seems like Na-yeon just has bad luck, and that's probably the point of her short squid game season 2 arc. And the fact that Na-yeon is unlucky just happens to connect to the overall themes of the series in a tragic way.

Gamblers are often a product of chance
squid game highlights how some people are pushed into more difficult circumstances than othersand there's clearly no reason why elites should be much better off than people like Gi-hun. Although many of the players in squid game make bad choices, they are typically given more difficult choices than people born into wealth and privilege, such as VIPs. Their circumstances are often dictated by chance, just as players who die in squid game they are also decided more often by chance than by skill.
The fact that Na-yeon wasn't chosen to receive a lollipop highlights that some people are worse off than others through no fault of their own, and that getting help is also just luck. This message perfectly sets up the rest squid game Season 2, arousing sympathy for the tournament players through a more innocent and tragic example of their situation.
