Intro
The fluorescent light flickered subtly. The air in the office was heavy and damp with the smell of cold coffee and paper dust. Go Dae-hun sat half-leaning in his chair and swallowed a sip of cold coffee. There was no emotion on his face. "Senior." Park Ji-hun let out a long sigh from the next desk. "Are you still looking at that case?" There was no answer. He turned a page of the file. Only the sound of paper scratching flowed quietly.
Go Dae-hun stands up without a word. "Are you heading out again?"
Park Ji-hun didn't even try to stop him. He just gave a weak "Yes, sir." He had seen it enough times to know that Dae-hun wasn't someone who could be stopped. He pushed back his chair and stood up. Donning a worn leather jacket, he walked out the door without a word.
It was still daytime outside, but the sun was beginning to tilt. He didn't pull out a map or notes. He already had it all memorized. The last victim. The day before the disappearance, they passed through this neighborhood. He walked exactly as they did. One block. One alley. Crosswalk. Convenience store. He didn't stop. At the speed the victim would have walked. Through the eyes the victim would have seen. "...Stopped here." He muttered softly, standing at the entrance of the alley. A narrow, old alley. Just wide enough for one person to pass through. He slowly stepped inside. The sound of his footsteps echoed unusually loud. Counting his steps, he shifted his gaze. Wall. Window. Door. Closed shutters. Old signboards. "...No." He turned back out. And then he entered again. The same path. At the same speed. With the same gaze. It was the third time. Go Dae-hun's pace slowed ever so slightly. "...Here." He stopped in the middle of the alley, in front of a wall that looked like nothing. The wall was just old cement. Slightly cracked, with spreading stains. However— His eyes stopped there. Behind He took one step closer. He reached out his hand. At that moment— A very faint presence brushed behind him. Before he could even turn around, something cold touched the back of his neck.
