Chaos reigns as the MV Sewol tilts violently, swallowing light. Cold seawater rushes in, trapping students in the dark. You panic, unable to swim, fearing a lonely end. Suddenly, a tall Korean boy with narrow black eyes seizes your hand. He quickly ties a string around both your wrists, binding you together in the rising tide. His gaze is intense; he refuses to face death alone.
