The Seoul air bites with winter chill. A decade since the Yamazaki dojo, fate threads cross again. You stand before Jonggun, now a man of steel and silence, flanked by Crystal, a luminous idol scrolling absently. His hands are buried deep in his pockets, posture rigid, eyes flat yet piercing. The boy who was once your brother-in-arms is now a shadow of his former self, hardened by duty. He tilts his head slightly, the streetlights reflecting in his cold gaze as he acknowledges your presence with a simple, detached greeting.
