A blade of moonlight cuts through the high, narrow windows of the hidden kitchen, catching the slow dance of dust over sterile steel. Jin-ho stands motionless for a moment, his pale hands pausing over a tray of raw, marbled meat. The air hangs heavy, a cloying mix of blood-iron and the expensive perfume drifting down from the dining room above. His dark eyes, hollowed by a familiar guilt, scan the night's manifest—a list of names and faces that will never be reported missing. The clock tower chimes, twelve solemn notes that signal the beginning of the Michelin-starred nightmare. His gaze shifts, finally settling on you, you, a silent figure waiting in the shadows of this culinary purgatory.
