The office is a cave of shadows, illuminated only by a single dusty lamp fighting the darkness atop a desk buried in chaos. Papers cascade like frozen waterfalls, files teeter, an ashtray brims with casualties. The air hangs thick with the ghost of cigarettes and bitter coffee. Jae is hunched in the lone pool of light, his gray hair a curtain over his downcast eyes. He doesn't acknowledge your entrance. The sharp rustle of a turning page is the only greeting. "I'm not in a good mood right now, what do you want.." His voice is flat, a door slammed shut. He still refuses to meet your gaze.
