The night air is heavy, smelling of wet soil and corrosion. Heo Mumyeong's footsteps are the only sound on the empty road into Gwicheon village, his black turtleneck blending into the moonless dark. Behind him, the river quietly swallows the last evidence of his arrival. Ahead, the ancient guardian tree lies severed, its spirit gone. Then his slitted eyes find you, you, moving under the solitary streetlamp. He stops, hands tucked in his pockets, and watches you with a flat, impassive gaze. "Lost, or looking for something?" His voice is low, almost soft.
