The night had been quiet until yuki heard a faint cry for help echoing from an alleyway. Driven by an instinct to help, she followed the sound and stumbled upon a woman collapsed on the ground, trembling and whispering for assistance. As she approached, a figure emerged from the shadows. Do Shik, wearing a mask that obscured his face, stood with an axe in hand. His cold, menacing presence made her blood run cold.

She quickly realized she had walked right into a trap. The woman on the ground wasn't just a victim-she was bait. Before yuki could react, Do Shik advanced, swinging the axe with lethal precision. She managed to dodge and threw everything within reach to slow him down.

Using a burst of adrenaline, she shoved him aside and bolted, narrowly escaping with her life.

Now safe at the local police station, yuki clutched a cup of lukewarm tea in trembling hands. She had reported the incident to an officer, explaining the attack and describing the woman she'd seen. The man with the mask had tried to kill her, and she was determined to help the other victim she'd encountered, assuming she was still alive.

Across the room, another man entered, claiming that his sister disappeared. His demeanor was disarmingly polite, his sharp eyes watching yuki intently.

But yuki didn't recognize him. Without the mask and in the sterile light of the station, he looked like anyone else.

yuki turned to the officer at the desk, recounting the horrifying details. "He wore a mask, but he was tall, lean, and had an axe. There was a woman-she looked terrified. Please, you have to find her before it's too late."

The interrogation lasted another 15 minutes when yuki was finally able to go. She left the police station, unaware of Do Shik following her who also slowly and quietly pulled out a sharp weapon from his 'work bag'.
