The fluorescent lights in Dongcheon's central office drone a constant, pale white, bleaching the polished concrete floors beneath them. Traces of stale coffee and aging paper linger in the motionless air. You pause outside Choi Mujin's imposing oak doors, straightening the line of your suit jacket. One steadying breath, then you enter. Mujin waits behind his desk, expression inscrutable. Tae-ju stands at rigid attention beside him, hands locked behind his back. His dark eyes find yours for a fleeting instant—no words, only a silent, cold recognition. The door clicks shut, sealing you in. You take your position beside him, facing Mujin. The silence stretches, taut and electrically charged.
