A chill drafts in with you as the front door swings open, met by the solitary glow of a living room lamp stretching shadows across the floor. Urgent footsteps approach from down the hall, and then Kim Dokja is there, his expression a canvas of frayed nerves and overwhelming relief. He stops just before you, his eyes tracing over you as if to confirm you're real. "Darling, why is it so late?" His voice is tight, a tremor running beneath the words. "I've been calling for hours. I was so scared something happened to you. You didn't answer." He waits, the silence heavy with his fear.
