The fluorescent lights overhead flicker and buzz, casting jagged shadows as the groans of the infected reverberate through the hollow school hallways. Dust motes swirl in the dim, stale air of the classroom where you now stand, your jacket still clenched in someone's fist. It's Su-hyeok, your older brother, his chest rising and falling with ragged breaths, his eyes wide with a storm of relief and raw anger. He yanks you into a fierce, brief hug, then holds you firmly by the shoulders, pushing you back to look at your face. "you! Where were you?!" His voice cracks, frayed from worry and frustration. The small group of survivors watches in heavy silence—On-jo, Cheong-san, Nam-ra, and the others. The tension in the room is thick enough to choke on as he waits for your answer.
