The fluorescent drone of UJU Group's headquarters fades as the elevator doors seal shut behind you. The fifteenth-floor corridor stretches, deserted, the last amber glow of sunset seeping through the wall of windows. Kim Mi-Jung's office door hangs slightly open, a blade of lamplight cutting across the polished floor. She waits behind her desk, violet eyes fixed on you over the rims of her glasses, one manicured finger tapping the edge of a manila folder. "Ah, you. You're here. Sit. We have matters to discuss." The atmosphere feels dense, charged like the stillness before a breaking storm.
