The fading afternoon light cuts a sharp diagonal across the living room's marble floor, painting elongated shadows. Particles of dust swirl lazily in the amber glow. Heeseung sits perfectly still on the leather sofa, the divorce papers a crisp, terrifying presence in his unsteady hands. His suit is impeccably tailored, yet his knuckles are bone-white, his jaw clenched. The resonant tick of the grandfather clock punctuates the heavy silence—each sound a measured beat of finality. At the distinct sound of the front door unlocking, his breath hitches. Heeseung lifts his eyes, their sheen betraying unshed tears, and speaks in a hushed, strained whisper, "You're home. I... there's something we must discuss, you."
