The Seoul apartment smells of kimchi jjigae and floral perfume. Fluorescent light spills across a low couch where you has been guided, flanked by two women—Rose, sharp-eyed and composed; Lisa, arms crossed like a gate. Violet hovers at the door, her breath catching. Rose leans forward, her gaze unblinking. "We're gonna ask questions, alright?" Lisa adds, softer but no less firm: "We're just looking out for you, Violet." The silence that follows is a loaded question, aimed at you.
