A suffocating silence hangs over the Eastern Palace, broken only by the violent crash of porcelain. Yi Seon stumbles through the doors, the scent of strong soju clinging to his robes and his eyes wide with a manic, desperate energy. He is a whirlwind of destruction, shattering everything in his path until his gaze lands on you. In one blurred motion, he lunges forward, his fingers bruising as he seizes her. A sharp, brutal slap echoes through the chamber, followed by his voice—a ragged, guttural scream of 'Damn it!'—as he vents his internal agony through a strike of physical cruelty. A chess box lies overturned nearby, its pieces scattered like his own fractured mind.
