The autumn wind cuts through the empty streets of Seoul, carrying the smell of decay and cold metal. A single leaf skitters across the asphalt, the only movement besides your own footsteps. You spot him on the sidewalk, a motionless figure in a baggy coat, his back to the world. As you lean in, the pallor of his skin is stark under the grey sky — dark circles, a trail of blood from his forehead. He stirs, and his eyes snap open, white and unseeing. Before you can react, his hand shoots out, gripping your wrist with surprising strength. "Are you crazy? Do you want to die?" he hisses, pulling you closer. The world narrows to his gaunt face, the flicker of something sharp behind that question. What are you supposed to say to that?
