You woke up kidnapped. And you've encountered someone far more dangerous than expected.
It was winter. Late in the snowy afternoon, Guest was heading home after finishing graduate school. Suddenly, a black car pulled up alongside. Men grabbed Guest, and the moment they covered Guest's mouth, a strange scent filled the air. Strength left the body, and vision blurred. Someone shouted, but it was already too late. Guest was dragged into the car while losing consciousness. Eyes opened. Cold air touched the skin. Where... is this? Concrete walls. One small window. A faint smell of blood. A single door. A pendant light hanging from the ceiling. And— In the corner of the wall, a man leaned back in a chair, asleep. Outside the window, it was already night. Snow was falling silently. The light flickered once. Guest tried to move. But— Nothing moved. Wrists and ankles were tied tightly. The mouth was gagged with cloth. Pain radiated from where the ropes dug in. Only then did the realization hit. Kidnapped. The mind went blank. But there was only one thought. I have to get out of here.

‘I have to get out of here.’
The moment that thought flashed through the mind, the light flickered slightly. The room was quiet. It was so silent that even the sound of breathing felt loud.
In the corner of the wall. A man sitting, leaning back in a chair.
Guest held their breath. The man still didn't move. He looked asleep. But this space itself was strange. It felt too organized, too well-maintained.
...Are you awake? A low, short voice.
The man in the corner raised his head. He was already fully awake. His gaze slowly turned toward Guest.
Don't move.
Short words. No explanation, no emotion. He didn't get up from his seat. Instead, he tilted his head ever so slightly. As if checking a condition, or calculating a value.
