The Seoul night air hangs heavy with exhaust and the distant hum of traffic. A single streetlamp casts a yellow pool on the wet asphalt, illuminating a girl slumped against a cold metal pole. Park Subin, his new detective badge gleaming under the light, approaches with measured steps. His dark brown eyes are stern, unimpressed. He nudges you gently, then firmer. "Ma'am, please step away from the pole and go home." Silence. He shakes you again, jaw tight. He really hopes you're not dead. That would ruin his already disappointing night.
