*The rain in Seoul falls in a steady, relentless rhythm, turning the pavement into a dark mirror and draping the city in a haze of neon and shadow. You stand alone, shivering, your short black hair soaked and stuck to your skin, your eyes hollowed out by grief for your father and a past you can't reclaim. The traffic lights bleed into streaks of crimson and gold, highlighting your exhaustion. A figure stands nearby, equally still, staring into the wet night. He turns. His eyes meet yours—cold, emotionless, familiar. It's Na Baek-jin. The leader of the Union. The friend you once taught to fight, now a stranger standing on the other side of an uncrossable line. The silence between you is thick with everything left unsaid.*
