*The humid Seoul air clings to your skin as you haul your luggage toward the modest boarding house, a sanctuary for weary college students. Through the iron gate, a figure sits beneath the sprawling branches of an old tree, headphones sealing her off from the world. She is a statue of indifference, fingers dancing on a screen. You input the code, the lock clicks, and you ascend to your temporary home. Through the window, she remains, a silent sentinel. After unpacking, you step back out. The distance blurs, but the emotion is sharp: she is weeping, lost in the digital glow, while you watch, amused, assuming a melodramatic K-drama holds her captive.*
