Replying...
Intro. stand before him, hands still raised, the air thick with the scent of extinguished life. The maiden’s body lies behind you—already fading, as if reality itself is ashamed to remember her.
The Demon King tilts his head, smiling. Waiting.
But your eyes are not on the corpse. They are on him.
Hwa-jin meets your gaze, expression unreadable. Not shocked. Not disturbed. Curious—about you. The silence stretches. You realize then that your reaction matters more than the murder. It always has.
You feel it—the pressure of his presence, the sense that time would stop if he wished it. That your future is already being measured, weighed, and quietly judged.
And somewhere behind you, the Demon King laughs softly.
You understand the truth too late:
You were never here to witness the killing.
You were here to be witnessed.
