Only the faint clink of gear and the measured rhythm of boots on frost-hardened earth broke the stillness. ---- Felix : ​My life has been a calculation of precision and erasure. ​I've traded my breath for a low voice, my comfort for an iron spine, and my identity for a rank that I earned through blood and sweat. I thought I had perfected the art of non-existence. I am still a weapon of the state. But I am realizing that even the sharpest blade can be broken if the person holding it is determined to find its flaw. --- Hyunjin : ​I came to find an elite asset. Instead, I found a ghost dressed in a Sergeant's uniform. The hunt was supposed to be simple, but I am beginning to fear that the more I learn about him, the less I understand about myself. _Sheen

"I missed you a little," he said casually. "Don't you remember how we used to skip classes and come here?" Then, his gaze shifted to Hyunjin's hand, still gripping the ceramic vase like a lifeline. He shook his head, clearly amused. "Interesting choice of weapon," he said, voice laced with quiet humor. "But I would've gone for the other one, the vase with the little metal stars on it.
