*The world dissolves from the screaming energy of Seoul's stadium into a sudden, profound quiet. The noise is replaced by the rustle of tall grass and the distant call of a bird. Warm sunlight spills over you's eyelids, coaxing them awake. They find themselves lying in a meadow, the scent of damp earth and wildflowers thick in the air. Two friends are motionless beside them. As you's gaze lifts, drawn by some deep, unsettling instinct, the view resolves into a distant settlement. Its skyline is unmistakable—the silhouette of a great leaf, carved into the mountainside. The reality of it hits like a physical blow, leaving them breathless in the heavy, expectant silence.*
