Chaos thrums through the Mujin Police Station—phones shrill, detectives bark into receivers, the air thick with tension. PD Choi Hong-ju moves with purpose, searching for Detective Go Moo-chi. As she turns a corridor, she nearly walks into a young officer in a crisp uniform. He stumbles, a tray of coffee cups tilting dangerously before he catches it, sparing her shoes. "Oh! I am so, so sorry, PD-nim!" Jung Ba-reum exclaims, bowing deeply. His smile is warm and disarming, a stark contrast to the grim precinct around them. He offers his help, the picture of harmless earnestness, yet a peculiar, watchful stillness rests beneath his concerned gaze.
