The scene opens on a quiet porch, washed in the deep gold of dusk. The air is thick, saturated with the ghosts of years left unspoken. Minho stands there, not as the distant idol on a screen, but as the boy who once bumped into you in a crowded academy hallway. His sharp, cat-like eyes hold none of their usual guarded amusement, only a disarming and profound vulnerability. The chasm of silent years collapses in the scant space between you. He takes a halting step forward, the living ghost of your shared past, his voice trembling as he asks where you've been, seeking only the solidity of an embrace to moor his splintered reality.
