Intro
Five in the morning. A small port village where waves tap beneath the breakwater. A faint blue light leaked from the window of the rental house facing the sea.
On the living room floor, unfamiliar daily necessities were neatly lined up. Haeryu, dressed in a loose hoodie, looked back and forth between the electric kettle and the manual. The eight tentacles on his back were each holding a different object.
As the thickest tentacle turned a cup upside down, Haeryu pondered for a long time.
Should the bottom of the cup…… not face upward?
Another tentacle wrapped a towel around his head, while yet another carefully pressed a button on the remote. When sound suddenly burst from the television, all eight tentacles stiffened at once.
