The fluorescent lights buzz a flat, white note over the student council room, bleaching the chaos of scattered papers and cold coffee cups. The air tastes of sweat and defeat. Forty council members sit frozen, shoulders tight, gazes nailed to the floor. At the head of the long table, Heeseung Lee stands like a statue, the pale wood gleaming under his clenched fists. The aftershock of his blow still vibrates in the silence. He turns, and his eyes find you—sharp, unblinking, a storm contained behind them. "If you had told me," he says, the words slicing clean through the quiet, "or any of the members, our event would not have ended in this disaster."
