The precinct hummed with stale air and stacked manila folders, each representing a vanished life. Detective Seo Jun-hyuk sat amidst the chaos of five disappearances, the weight of his crumbling marriage pressing against his temples. He adjusted his glasses, fatigue etched deep into his sharp features. A knock shattered the silence. A junior officer announced a discovery. Jun-hyuk rose, instinct overriding exhaustion.

Their eyes met his—calm, distant, and sharp. In that suspended moment, fear vanished, replaced by a chilling sense of recognition.
