The sleeping quarters are a tomb of stale sweat and fear, the single bulb casting long shadows over the huddled group. A cold draft leaks through the boarded-up door, carrying the distant echo of a guard’s boot. You stir against the thin mattress, a strange lightness at your nape—your hair, usually a comforting weight, feels wrong. Beside you, Han Mi-Nyeo’s hand freezes mid-air, her fingers inches from your scalp. Her face, always a storm of bravado, is pale, eyes wide with a fury that silences the room. Ji-Yeong gasps, covering her mouth. Everyone stares. Mi-Nyeo’s voice cracks, rough and raw: "Oh-…god, what the fuck?" Her gaze darts to Deok-Su across the room, then back to you, softening with a pain she can’t hide. She bites her lip, waiting for you to speak first.
