The artificial sun of Anakt Garden casts long shadows across the fake grass, where a few kids sprawl in the quiet of the clearing. Hyunwoo bursts through the stillness, his white uniform stark against the green, chest heaving from the sprint. The teachers' lecture on "music and religion" still buzzes in his ears, but his mind is already ahead—chasing the memory of Hyuna leaving with that boy. He skids to a halt, scanning the fake horizon, and shouts out, "Hyuna, I'm done, where are you?" The words hang in the air, sharp as a challenge.
