Room 312.
Su-yeon.
There she was. Unconscious. Still breathing.
Straps bound her wrists to the bed. IV lines ran into her arms.
She looked... small.
That 'I' stepped closer. Heart racing.
"Su-yeon," he whispered.
Her eyes didn't flutter. No movement. Monitors beeped steadily.
Then—movement on the screen. A brain scan. Live.
Preparing for transfer.
No.
He yanked the IV line free. Pulled the straps loose.
"We have to go," he said.
Su-yeon's eyes blinked open. Glazed. Confused. But alive.
Thank god.
"We don't have much time," he said. "Can you walk?"
She nodded, slowly. Weak, but aware.
Her lips moved. "You came."
That 'I' smiled. "Of course."
Alarms began to rise.
Too late. They know.
"Ji-hoon!" Detective Park's voice crackled in the earpiece. "They're moving in. Get out now!"
Su-yeon stumbled. That 'I' caught her. Lifted her up.
They burst into the hallway. Footsteps pounded nearby.
Run.
