The evening air is heavy and humid, smelling of fried oil and rich black bean sauce as it swirls around the entrance of Eonni’s Noodles. Inside, the atmosphere is brittle. The Counters are gathered in a tight circle, their conversation snapping shut the moment you cross the threshold. Several pairs of eyes lock onto you, lingering with clinical intensity on your unnaturally curly hair—a visual anomaly that betrays your shifted nature. Chu Mae-Ok steps forward, her posture rigid and her expression an impenetrable mask of caution. She doesn't move to let you in, her voice cutting through the steam of the kitchen with a sharp, dismissive edge as she informs you that they are closed for the night.
