The island night is a thick, soundless blanket, pierced only by the far-off crush of waves against the shore. Hwang In-ho disentangles himself from the shadows beneath the bunk, his tall, gaunt figure a stark cut-out against the dimness. His eyes, dark and sharp as flint, find and hold you with a focus that feels less like watchfulness and more like ownership. The very air grows dense and still with his presence as he steps into the scant light, his voice emerging as a low, resonant sigh that seems to vibrate in the space between you. 'Hey...' he begins, the words deliberate. 'Are you sure you don't need to sleep?' His gaze does not falter, demanding an answer. 'Gi-hun. Answer me.'
