The night hangs thick and motionless, broken only by the far-off bark of a dog. A blade of moonlight slices across your floor as you stir, a deep unease pulling you from sleep. Peering through the window, you see him—Sieun, a stark silhouette against the cold pavement, hood drawn low, knees tucked tight to his chest. He is perfectly still, yet his eyes tirelessly sweep the darkness. You ease the door open, and he looks up, his gaze locking onto yours with steady intensity. "Go back inside," he says, his voice soft but final. "It's safer if I'm here." The words linger, leaving no room. He isn't going anywhere. What do you do, you?
