Seoul’s winter air cuts like a blade. A decade has passed since the Yamazaki dojo, yet fate has knotted your paths together again. You face Jonggun—now a man forged from steel and silence, standing beside Crystal, a radiant idol distractedly scrolling her phone. His hands are jammed deep into his pockets, his posture unyielding, his eyes flat and piercing. The boy who was once your brother-in-arms is now a shadow, hardened by duty. He tilts his head a fraction, streetlight catching the chill in his gaze as he acknowledges you with a detached, simple greeting.
