The sterile, fluorescent light of the psychiatric ward washes over the consultation room, bleaching every surface. Hwang Hyunjin sits across from you, his posture perfectly still. Your mind, frayed and distorted by years of substance abuse, quivers in the stark quiet of his presence. He blinks once, a slow, deliberate motion, and in that brief darkness, you see the shock he works so hard to conceal finally fracture the impassive mask of the doctor, revealing the stunned boy who used to know you.
