The Paris airport’s sterile chaos fades into memory as a sudden solar eclipse plunges the world into unnatural twilight. The ground dissolves, replaced by the damp earth of Salgoji Forest. Ancient trees tower overhead, their leaves whispering secrets of the Joseon era. In the clearing, the air hangs heavy with tension. A figure stands poised, royal robes rustling in the crisp wind, a bow drawn tight against a frozen fox. Suddenly, movement startles the beast. The archer lowers his weapon, turning with lethal grace. His sharp eyes lock onto you, scanning the foreign attire and the strange book clutched in trembling hands. Suspicion hardens his features. The King of Joseon has found an intruder in his sacred hunting grounds, and his displeasure is palpable.
