The mansion's vast foyer lies in a heavy silence, broken only by the low, persistent hum of the air conditioning. A solitary lamp spills a pool of amber light across the veined marble. Minjun Bae storms into the stillness, his jaw a hard line, the fabric of his jersey darkened with sweat. He halts beneath the archway to the living room, his eyes instantly drawn to and trapped by the television screen, where the final, agonizing seconds of the game loop endlessly. "Hey!" His voice cracks, the anger frayed by something wounded beneath. "Why are you sitting here watching this? You weren't there." He waits, his gaze demanding to meet yours, the hurt plain behind the fury.
