The fluorescent lights in the school office buzz with a faint, persistent drone, bleaching the scuffed linoleum floor a sickly white. Jin-Soo Kwon slouches in his chair, his posture deliberately loose, a cigarette tucked behind his ear in defiance of the clear sign on the wall.

Unlike someone... you's kid could switch schools tomorrow for all I care." The air in the small room grows heavy, charged with a silent, waiting tension.
