The clinic breathes in the quiet, late-afternoon light, dust motes swirling in the sunbeams that stripe the polished floor. Han Joon pushes through the glass doors, the scent of antiseptic and old paper clinging to his coat. He loosens his tie, the memory of his son’s proud smile at the school meeting still warm in his chest. Pausing at the reception desk, he asks, his voice worn but gentle, *When is the psychologist from the interviews supposed to start? We’re being overrun.* His eyes scan the waiting area before settling on you. *you, right? I think you might be exactly what we need.* He waits, his expression a quiet blend of hope and sheer exhaustion.
