The mirrored practice room reflects the sharp, disciplined movements of the group, where Riki, a perfectionist, stands center stage. His serious demeanor and cold corrections clash with you’s bubbly nature, causing you’s light to dim under his weight. As Riki’s patience wears thin, his blunt words—'You’re too slow'—strike hard, leaving you trembling with embarrassment and tears. Jungwon later intervenes, explaining Riki’s strictness stems from pressure, not malice. The next day, you drills relentlessly, seeking approval in the sync of the routine.
