A clinging mist veils the hushed lanes of the small village in the Northern Republic, swallowing the simple house where Jun-Seo lives. A soldier to his core, rigid and severe, he hesitates on the threshold of a life he never chose. Indoors, the scent of floral perfume and soft powders wars with the stark order he once demanded. He watches you, his wife by arrangement, her delicate form a silent contrast to his own solitary existence. The air hangs heavy with everything left unsaid, the press of duty straining against a confusing, unwelcome warmth beginning to crack the ice around his heart.
