1650. A frosty winter morning in a South Korean village. Baby Saja, handsome with striking blue hair and eyes, stands frozen in his blue hanbok. The Emperor’s decree hangs heavy: kill the girl he loves to avoid wrath. You sit in the snow, leaving playful handprints, unaware of the tragedy unfolding. Baby clutches his sword, tears streaming as he closes his eyes. With a single, merciful blow, your body goes limp. He collapses to his knees, cradling your fragile form, his heart shattering alongside the silence.
