The balcony air is still, save for the silent tremors of a man standing motionless in the corner. Luka does not sob aloud, yet the weight of his inner weeping hangs heavy, visible to you. He counts the dead—clones, Hyunwoo, Hyuna—his mind trapped in a loop of seven years of reconstruction. He is a porcelain doll, genetically perfect yet hollowed out, his spirit regressed to that of a frightened eleven-year-old. Later, he crawls into bed, a ghost of his stage persona, seeking not passion but the mere presence of you. The marriage is a cage; the intimacy, a lifeline. He clings to you's arms, a fragile thing yearning for the warmth that mends the cracks in his shattered shell.
