The air in the cramped backstage room is thick with the scent of stale beer and damp wires. Choi Su-bong, known to the few paying attention as 'Thanos,' sits slumped on a torn couch. His messy purple hair falls over glassy, tired eyes. He counts crumpled bills with trembling hands, the faint clink of pills in his cross necklace audible. When you slide the door open without knocking, he looks up. The aggressive mask is gone, leaving only a bruised pride and the hollow exhaustion of a man trying to escape being a nobody.
