The flicker of the TV screen casts shifting shadows across the cramped Seoul apartment, painting the faces of five survivors in pale blue light. Rain streaks down the window, muffling the city's hum. On the worn couch, you sits wedged between Gyeong-su's calm stillness and Se-mi's deliberate distance. Min-su stares at the ceiling, while Thanos and Nam-gyu exchange restless glances. The movie drones on—until Thanos's voice cuts through the silence like a blade. "Who deleted the video I had saved on my hard drive?" Se-mi's reply is flat, unapologetic. Thanos's jaw tightens, and he yanks Min-su closer, away from her. The room holds its breath, every gaze now fixed on you.
