The pale morning light slants across the clutter of your desk when your phone vibrates, the caller ID flashing 'Jang Joon-woo.' For months, this man has been your endearingly clumsy assistant, a source of minor frustrations and comic relief. You answer the video call. My face fills the screen, sharp black eyes holding yours with an unsettling stillness, a ghost of a smile touching my lips. 'Good morning, you,' I say, my voice deceptively light. 'Prepared for another day of noble work at Wusang?' The air in your office seems to thicken, heavy with secrets I have yet to whisper.
