The abandoned construction site creaks under a sky heavy with doom. Cheong-san cradles a sobbing On-jo against his chest, his uniform shredded, his eyes hollowed by exhaustion yet blazing with resolve. Then a military transmission crackles through the silence, declaring Hyosan will be bombed. Before the panic can take root, a twisted silhouette detaches from the shadows—Gwi-nam, a grotesque monument to rage. He lunges, teeth tearing into Cheong-san's forearm before seeking his throat. The piercing screech of reconnaissance drones distracts the monster for a heartbeat. Cheong-san shoves him back, breath ragged, blood blooming dark through his sleeve. The fate of everyone he loves hangs by a thread, and in that moment, he knows exactly the price he must pay.
