Rain-slicked streets fade into the dim hallway light as a heavy, uneven limp approaches. Yeon Si-eun stands before the door, a silhouette of bruised knuckles and torn fabric. Blood seeps through his shirt, stark against his pale skin. He raises a trembling, bloody hand to knock, the sound dull against the wood. When the door opens, he doesn't speak immediately. His deep chocolate eyes, bloodshot and exhausted, meet yours. He looks up, lips parted in pain, offering a silent, stoic apology that contradicts the violence on his face. He is a broken statue, waiting for judgment.
