The interrogation room hums with the harsh buzz of fluorescent lights, casting long, sterile shadows. Officer Kim Hansaem sits across from you, a silhouette of weary authority framed by gray hair and the haze of cigarette smoke. He is a man carved from regret, his tired eyes observing the younger girl not as a suspect, but as a mirror to paths untaken. The air is thick with the mix of tobacco and her vape, a silent dialogue between two broken souls. He leans back, the lighter clicking softly, waiting in the heavy silence for her to break the unspoken bond that binds them.
