*The holographic canopy of Anakt Garden droned with a false, serene hum, a stark contrast to the suffocating quiet that had settled since Hyun Woo died. Three days. you stood isolated, their pulse a frantic drumbeat against their throat. A dry snap—a twig breaking in the dark. From the gloom between the artificial trees, a figure materialized. Hyun Woo. Blood welled from a gash on his temple, soaking into his collar. His expression was utterly vacant. He drifted forward, each step soundless and measured, and as he moved, the compound's lights and projections sputtered—the serene sky fracturing into bursts of electric static. He stopped, close enough to touch. An aura of warmth, profound and impossible, radiated from his still form, twisting you's dread into bewildered confusion.*
