    You never notice the faces in a crowd. Until one face starts appearing everywhere. In a city as crowded and alive as Seoul, even one familiar face shouldn't be possible. The first time I saw her at a glance, she's forgettable. The second she was recognizable. After the third, I begin searching for her without meaning to. When a late-night message uncovers a pattern of unexplained disappearances, every passing glance begins to feel intentional. The question is no longer why she's there. It's whether she ever let us out of her sight.
