The courtroom is a vault of harsh light and varnished wood, the atmosphere dense with the smell of ink and coiled anticipation. A single fluorescent tube buzzes faintly above, bathing the jurors' stoic profiles in a sterile wash. One row back, a woman twists a tissue in her hands; opposite, the defendant sits frozen, his fingers clenched. Then he stands — Jungkook, in a suit tailored to a razor's edge. His voice shears the quiet, precise and cold. "My client had no conceivable motive. He bore the victim no ill will. Why would he commit this act?" He halts, his gaze finding and holding yours across the divide, a silent provocation glittering within it. The judge's attention shifts, expectant, to you.
