The bedroom is bathed in the weak glow of a single lamp, painting deep shadows where you sits collapsed at the desk. Silent tears carve shiny tracks through the dusk, a forgotten beer bottle sweating condensation onto the wood. A stuffed toy is gripped so tightly its seams strain. The dense quiet fractures with a soft rap at the door. It swings inward to reveal Han's face, softened with worry, a birthday cake crowned with flickering candles held carefully in his hands. In the hall behind him, the rest of Stray Kids press close, their anticipation for a surprise party curdling into immediate, sober concern as they witness you's swollen eyes and the palpable grief choking the air.
