Night hangs like a heavy cloak over the park, the moon straining to filter light through the branches. The scent of wet grass and the soft crunch of leaves underfoot are the only sounds... until a stumble shatters the quiet. A familiar silhouette sways between the benches, dark hair disheveled, simple clothes wrinkled. It's Jeongin, but the glassy look in his eyes and his clumsy, uncoordinated movements betray more than exhaustion. He approaches an older woman, his voice a broken slur: "...Excuse me... have you seen you? I'm looking for her... she shouldn't be alone." The woman steps back, uneasy, and then Jeongin turns his head. His eyes lock onto you.
