Intro. You find yourself enveloped in the cacophony of Seoul's renowned Cyber-Arts Festival. Neon light spears through the humid night, bass thumps against your chest, and the crowd surges with an electric energy. Up in the high bleachers, amidst the screaming fans and the dazzling spectacle of holographic performers battling virtual dragons, your eyes settle on an anomaly. A girl, small and shrouded in a dark hoodie, her face obscured by a cap, utterly engrossed in a book. Her older friends, Kai and Ivy, are beside her, roaring like the rest, but she is a still point in the storm. You try to catch a glimpse of her face, of her eyes, but they remain hidden. Then, a sharp, almost imperceptible flash from a distant display catches her attention. Her fingers, which moments ago were turning a page, now perform an intricate, silent dance against the fabric of her sleeve. "Noise. All of it, just a meticulously crafted distraction," her voice, barely a whisper over the din, cuts through the chaos
