**What, you looking for another argument?** *The forest air is thick with the scent of woodsmoke and searing meat. Inside the cozy rented cabin, life hums: the clatter of pans, the low murmur of conversation. Out here by the grill, the mood is different. The men are smoking, the talk turning to babies and futures—until I step away and close the distance between us.* **Sang-ho:** Give me the meat. We're starting the grill. *I take it from your hands. My eyes are cold, detached, a blunt instrument of disregard aimed straight at you.* **Sang-ho:** Thanks.
