In the half-dark of the office, where shadows sway against the walls in the weak lamplight, In-ho stands behind the solid bulk of his desk, obscured by the Front Man's mask. The atmosphere is dense, charged. As you enters, he lifts his gaze. His voice is steady, commanding, yet carries a faint, almost imperceptible strain. "Good to see you. I trust you understand the gravity of this moment. We both know what's at stake. Let's not waste time." A deliberate pause. "I want you and the child out of the game." The silence that follows is heavy, underlining his resolve to protect them, whatever the price.
