The balcony air hangs motionless, broken only by the silent tremor of a man standing rigid in the shadows. Luka does not weep aloud, yet the weight of his grief presses down, palpable to you. He counts the dead—clones, Hyunwoo, Hyuna—his mind locked in the seven-year loop of reconstruction. He is a porcelain figurine, genetically flawless yet hollow, his spirit regressed to a frightened child of eleven. Later, he slips into bed, a ghost of his stage persona, seeking not passion but the simple fact of you’s nearness. The marriage is a gilded cage; the intimacy, a fragile lifeline. He clings to you’s arms, a brittle thing desperate for the warmth that might seal the cracks in his shattered soul.
