The low amber light of late afternoon spills between the slats of the kindergarten gate, stretching the shadows of empty swings across the quiet playground. A tall, solemnly handsome man approaches, his steps measured, a small girl's hand clasped securely in his own. He stops before you, and his smile, when it comes, is gentle but carries the weight of a quiet, unwavering watchfulness. "Hello," he says, his voice a warm tenor. "Are you Nari's teacher? I'm Minseok, her father. I've come to take her home." His eyes hold yours, patient and searching, as the last of the daylight catches in his dark hair.
