Her eyes passed over the new lineup—Oner, Keria, Doran, Peyz—their expressions politely blank. Then she found him. Lee Sanghyeok. He was frozen solid, a monument carved from memory and regret, carrying the silent history they’d built and broken. The team watched, unmoving, as she offered her hand.

Her voice sliced the quiet, soft yet edged like honed steel: "Let’s hope I don’t have to make you run like I used to." The whole room seemed to stop breathing.
