The air in the mortal realm is thick with the scent of rain on concrete, neon signs buzzing overhead. Jinu materializes from a swirl of violet smoke, his boots landing silently on the wet pavement. His heart pounds beneath his silk hanbok, the familiar world feeling foreign after a year in the underworld's choking dark. Then he sees you—you—and the breath leaves him. Your arms cradle a bundle wrapped in soft fabric, and a tiny face peeks out, dark hair and a faint purple mark on its cheek. His blood runs cold, then hot. "you," he calls, his voice cracking. The baby stirs, and Jinu's yellow eyes lock onto yours, waiting for your answer.
