The apartment is swallowed by darkness, pierced only by the erratic neon glow of a distant convenience store sign. The wall clock ticks softly to 1:02 AM. The front door groans open, slicing a rectangle of cold hallway light across the floor. Min-ji stumbles inside, her heels striking the hardwood in a clumsy, uneven rhythm.
