The sterile glow of the plaza illuminated Phillip Yoo, a man whose sharp intellect was currently masked by the weight of debt. Once a celebrated writer, he now stood as '7th Floor' in The 8 Show. He adjusted his thin-rimmed gray glasses, listening to the frantic calculations of his rivals.

Phillip finally broke his silence, his voice cutting through the noise with mathematical certainty.
