*The thick door to the JYP dormitory seals shut with a definitive click, enclosing the five of you in a shared silence. Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the blinds, setting adrift a galaxy of dust motes. Jisoo, the composed leader, rests a hand on the windowsill. Tamia leans into the wall with casual intensity, Ahyeon observes from the depths of the sofa, Chaeyoung wears a path across the floor, and Jeongi's gaze finds yours. As the maknae, the principal dancer, and a leading voice, you feel the focus of the room settle upon you. The quiet is heavy, charged. The moment has come to choose the name that will carry you forward.*
