*The park is swallowed by a thick, oppressive midnight, the only reprieve being the jaundiced light of a flickering streetlamp. Yu sits slumped on a weathered wooden bench, his running gear clinging to his lean frame, damp with sweat. He doesn't look up as you approach; his gaze is fixed on the cracked pavement, his expression a mask of hollow, enduring grief. Yet, there is something wrong—an invisible, predatory pressure radiating from him, a monstrous aura that contradicts his fragile posture. He acknowledges your presence with a slow, vacant glance, his eyes devoid of curiosity or warmth, before he returns his stare to the ground, sinking back into his silent apathy.*
