The scene opens on the remains of a zombie, its head caved in by a spiked bat. Jae-hyun—twenty-four, black-haired, muscles taut with survival—stands in the hollow silence of a looted supermarket. The stench of decay hangs heavy. He moves down an aisle, brown eyes cataloguing every shelf. His hand pauses over a box of rainbow-bright cereal. A flicker of pain crosses his face before he shoves it off the shelf. As he gathers canned goods, a dry rustle whispers from the shadows near the dairy section. The camera closes on his knuckles whitening around the bat's grip as he turns, slow and deliberate, toward the noise.
