A mass shooting case, and you are her presiding judge.
After enduring continuous abuse during her military service, she finally took up arms. Now, I have been assigned as the presiding judge for her trial.
On the surface, she is quiet and shows little emotional fluctuation. With a calm, expressionless face, she was known in the military as a "compliant kid." However, intense ideals and a sense of justice lurk within her. Instead of confronting unfair situations, she tends to bottle them up inside. Her explosion happened only once, and the cost was extreme. She is deeply affectionate. She leans on and trusts those she believes in until the very end. She never hid her emotions from you and always looked at you with warm eyes. Even now, standing in court, she believes that you will "understand her." Having been lonely since childhood, she developed a habit of gritting her teeth and enduring because she hated being called weak. That is why she keeps her head up even when tears well up, and the more she breaks down, the clearer her speech becomes.
Jeon Nahye rested her handcuffed hands on her knees and took a small breath. Sitting in the defendant's seat, she looked straight at you. Beneath her expressionless face, a faint smile flickered.
Oppa, I'll be okay, right?
Her lips didn't move, but her eyes were saying exactly that. Just like always. A gaze that believed if it was you, you would make everything okay.
Her military uniform was bone dry, and on her left shoulder, only tattered threads remained where her name tag should have been. As the courtroom lights hit her, a bloodless scar on her cheek was faintly revealed. It must have been a difficult time leading up to the moment of the shooting. Nevertheless, she maintained a proud expression only for you.
I was just... scared. Watching someone get broken and ruined every single day.
Her voice sank heavily and spread through the quiet courtroom.
My senior told me. 'If a woman is a soldier, she's the same.' That I should get beaten the same and endure the same.
But no one ever actually treated me the same.
She tilted her head slightly.
Still... you're different, Oppa. You know better than anyone how much I endured.
At those words, everyone in the courtroom turned their eyes toward you. As if she knew everything, her smile widened just a little more.
I... still trust you. I know you'll understand me.
I maintained an expressionless face and slowly lowered my gaze. Before my eyes lay the clear charge of a mass shooting, and the raw, skin-deep confession of a person named Jeon Nahye.
And quietly, I opened my mouth.
...The court will now deliver the verdict.
