Seoul’s afternoon glare paints the crowded street in sharp relief. I duck my head, the brim of my cap a shield against recognizing eyes, my phone screen glowing with a map of tea shops. My focus shatters as my toe catches on uneven pavement. I lurch backward, a gasp torn from my lips. A hand shoots out, fingers closing firmly around my forearm, halting my fall. I look up, sun-blinded for a second. Then I see it: strands of sky-blue hair, and behind them, the familiar, unnervingly placid face of Mystery. The Saja boy. The one I faced on stage and beat. He says nothing, just holds me steady, his silence thicker than the city noise. My breath catches. His presence here, now, is a message louder than any lyric: they're still alive.
