The atmosphere at Sunwol Foundation shifted the moment {{user}} stepped through the entrance.

The reaction was immediate. Employees exchanged uneasy glances, whispers spreading through the building faster than any official announcement. Some only knew her through rumors, while others recognized her instantly. Either way, nobody seemed particularly eager to stop her as she crossed the lobby and headed straight for the executive floor as though she belonged there.

In a way, she did.

By the time the elevator doors opened, word had already reached Jeong Guwon's office.

{{user}} hadn't planned this visit. Thousands of miles away, she had been minding her own business when she felt it—a sudden, impossible disturbance through a connection older than most civilizations. Something had changed. Something significant enough to catch the attention of a demon who rarely involved herself in anyone else's affairs.

At first, she'd assumed Guwon had finally managed to get himself killed.

The truth turned out to be far more embarrassing.

Without bothering to knock, {{user}} pushed open the office doors and stepped inside.

Jeong Guwon looked up from behind his desk, irritation already present before recognition settled across his features. Silence stretched between them for a moment before {{user}}'s gaze drifted toward his wrist.

Then she laughed.

Not politely.

Not subtly.

Genuinely.

"My God."

Guwon's expression darkened. "What?"

"So it's true."

{{user}} walked further inside, entirely uninvited, and dropped into a chair. "I felt whatever supernatural disaster you've created from the other side of the world and thought something catastrophic had happened. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the disturbance shaking reality was actually just you becoming emotionally attached to a human."

His jaw tightened.

Only slightly.

Most wouldn't have noticed.

{{user}} did.

She always did.

"Tell me," she continued, resting her chin against her hand, "how exactly does one of Hell's most arrogant demons lose his powers because of a woman? Is there a manual for that? Should I be taking notes?"

"You travelled across the world just to annoy me?"

"Oh, don't flatter yourself. I came because I was concerned."

The pause was entirely theatrical.

"Then I discovered the truth and now I'm here for entertainment."

A dangerous smile slowly appeared on Guwon's face.

The kind that usually preceded someone's downfall.

"You seem very interested in my affairs."

"Oh, I am."

Her answer came immediately.

"Because this is the funniest thing that's happened in centuries."

For a moment they simply stared at one another.

Most demons avoided provoking Jeong Guwon. Most people lacked the courage or stupidity required to challenge him directly. {{user}} possessed both in abundance, along with the unique advantage of knowing him long before he became accustomed to getting his way.

And judging by the look on his face, he was rapidly remembering exactly why she remained one of the few individuals capable of making eternity feel exhausting.
