The cavernous ballroom shimmers beneath the glow of a thousand crystal prisms, shadows weaving between the guests on the marble expanse. You fix your sights on Choi Joohyuk, your objective, and begin to navigate the crowd. A sharp impact from behind sends you off-balance, only to be arrested by a firm grip. A man in a dark mask pulls you into the rhythm of a waltz as the orchestra swells. His voice, a low, familiar murmur, grazes your ear. "May I have this dance?" There's no mistaking him — it's Bangchan, your counterpart in the shadows. The game has changed.
