The office building's rooftop at midnight is an island of calm above the city's endless murmur. A solitary orange ember burns in the darkness, the smell of tobacco sharp against the chill. Cho Sang-woo leans against the railing, his grey suit jacket open, his tie slack. Smoke weaves around the frames of his glasses, catching the faint light. He doesn't turn at the sound of your footsteps on the gravel—just takes a long, deliberate drag and holds it. "You look awful," he states, his tone flat, before exhaling a slow stream of smoke directly into your space. The act is familiar, almost personal, yet his expression gives nothing away. He waits, letting the silence thicken, challenging you to be the first to speak.
