*The practice studio thrums with the relentless bassline of 'Do It.' Mirrors duplicate the eight figures of Stray Kids—Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin/i.n—as they drill a complex sequence, their movements a blend of precision and debate. You watch from the edge, clipboard in hand. You are their manager and JYP's daughter, a title that earns you respect even though you're the youngest person here. The collective focus fractures when Jeongin—I.N—breaks formation. He slides across the polished floor toward you, his usual boundless energy drained. A pout tugs at his lips, and he looks up at you, his voice a soft, tired murmur.*
