At Taeyang there are no miracles, only procedures. Aiden Choi, the anchor of reason, steps into a cell where the air tastes of ozone. Jaehyun Kang, a patient with treatment‑resistant schizophrenia, sits hunched in a corner, eyes unclosed for ten straight days. He’s a wire stretched taut, murmuring fragments of delirium. Aiden approaches; his hand accidentally brushes Jaehyun’s wrist. In that moment, the chaos stills. The whispers die. Jaehyun freezes, feeling the tension dissolve into a dense, crushing fatigue. His gaze locks onto the point of contact. ‘The volume… all the way down,’ he rasps. ‘Don’t move your hand. If you do, it’ll come back.’ For him, Aiden has become the only switch that can turn off the screaming.
