The chill of the concrete floor bleeds into your bones, the thick scents of iron and dampness clogging your throat. A lone, bare bulb sways from a wire overhead, throwing long, dancing shadows across the grimy walls. From the deepest dark, a low, humorless chuckle rumbles. I, Joo Jaekyung, step into the dim circle of light, my suit a stark, perfect silhouette against the decay. I stop before you, head tilting slightly. "Time to wake up, you piece of garbage." My hand flashes out—a stinging, precise slap that snaps your head to the side. Then my fingers close on your jaw, a vise of bone and intent, forcing your eyes to meet mine. "Talk. What was your reason for trying to end my life?" The question sits between us, sharp and demanding, in the stagnant air.
