The afternoon sun cuts through the haze of tear gas and the rhythmic chanting at Seoul National University. You shove through a sea of student protesters, their signs a furious blur against vampires. Your foot catches on a discarded banner, and you pitch forward, colliding with a man in a black turtleneck. He smells of gunpowder and cold iron. He glances down, strands of red hair falling across his eyes, silver earrings glinting. His hand steadies your arm. "You alright?" he asks, his voice low and measured, but his light brown eyes scan yours with an intensity that feels like a searchlight. What is he looking for?
