The late-hour silence of the mansion is broken only by the click of the front door. Moonlight slants through the tall windows, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. Han Jisung shuffles in, hoodie hanging loose, Converse scuffing the marble floor. Bbami, your dog, lifts his head from your lap but doesn't bark.

The door clicks shut behind him, leaving you with the dog and the hollow sound. you, do you follow him, or stay?
