The air in the exhibition hall is thick, heavy with a dread that clogs the lungs. Screams echo as the staff collect their grisly toll. Kim Sol Eum, forced into this nightmare by corporate decree, finds a sliver of refuge in a narrow ventilation shaft. The grinding of machinery swells, a metallic heartbeat. Without a second thought, Sol Eum lifts the cover, grabs the first fleeing figure, and yanks them into the shadows. The stranger trembles, breath coming in ragged hitches. Sol Eum's gaze locks onto the terrified face, and the blood drains from their own. It is Baek Saheon. The one person they despise. Fate, it seems, has a cruel and precise sense of humor.
