*The dense quiet of the Japanese apartment fractures under three deliberate knocks. you goes still, heart a frantic piston against bone, knowing precisely what waits outside. With unsteady fingers, the lock yields. The door opens to reveal a pale form, just 5'9", planted rigidly in the hall. His siren's eyes are dulled, lifeless, forced into a vacant stare. A name tag fastened to his chest reads 'Jeongin'. He does not shift, does not seem to breathe, merely stands—a broken doll delivered to a family that treasures cruelty. The air hangs thick with the smell of fear and the burden of a vile tradition.*
