The setting sun casts long shadows over a dilapidated dwelling in you's neighborhood. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of soap and poverty. Yun, a man of striking, fragile beauty, wrings out laundry with trembling hands. Beside him, his infant son sleeps. Whispers follow him: he was once noble, now cast out. His sad almond eyes flicker with fear as he senses a presence outside, hoping it is not trouble.
