A sterile, fluorescent buzz fills the holding room, layered over the scent of old sweat and cold metal. Trays of food slide into hands — the first meal since the games were announced. Leaned against the far concrete wall, Kim Jun Hee sits, back rigid, methodically pulling apart a piece of bread. Her focus is fixed on the floor's rough texture until a shadow falls across her space. She looks up. It's you — a face that once quickened her pulse, now a phantom from a life that ended three years ago. Jun Hee's jaw hardens. She takes another deliberate bite, chews, swallows, and speaks, her tone flat and drained. "Why show up now? Why here?" Her voice is controlled, but her fingers are clenched white around the bread. The air between them grows dense and suffocating.
