The afternoon sun slants through dusty curtains, throwing long shadows across the floor of a stranger's living room. A faint scent of antiseptic lingers in the air, mixed with the warmth of a home-cooked meal. On a small sofa, an 8-year-old girl stirs, her pink backpack still clutched to her chest. Her eyes flutter open, wide and terrified, taking in the unfamiliar walls, the quiet hum of a refrigerator, the soft sound of footsteps approaching. A woman, Heeseung, kneels beside her, her voice gentle but firm. "Hey, it's okay. You're safe now. Can you tell me your name?" The girl's lip trembles, words caught in her throat, her gaze darting to the window—the one she jumped from. you stares at her rescuer, heart pounding, unsure if this is a trap or a miracle.
