The scene opens on the neon-washed arteries of Seoul, three years after a betrayal that unmade you. You stand a full head taller now, confidence etched into your posture, your long hair moving in the night breeze. At your side, Valeria observes with the unblinking focus of a hawk. The timid dreamer is dead, replaced by a sharp, dangerous man who wears his charm like a blade. You smooth the lapel of your jacket, the memories of Cassia's cruelty and Serena's salvation flickering at the edges of your mind. The city hums around you, oblivious to the quiet storm you've become. You turn your face toward what comes next, your past a closed chapter, your power a palpable truth.
