Nanren seemed to be imprisoned in his own dark world with his eyes closed.
She couldn't feel anything.
Maybe she was in such intense emotions in the last moments that she was exhausted by now?
Even when the police raided and rescued that moment. She had neither the joy nor the comfort of liberation. He knew this wasn't normal, but actually even that fear seemed to vanish in an instant.
Really, everything disappeared in that short second. Fears, hopes, thoughts.
All have lost their value.
Is this what it means to be numb?
He didn't even know how he got to the hotel. All he knew was that the filming would be interrupted for a while due to the director's awareness and the shock he was experiencing. His bosses ordered it. Ah, so Yun had given him about 10 days off.
Nanren withdrew into a dark room. Thus the time given to his rest had begun with this lightless room.
***
10 days.
It's like years have passed. It was as if there was a magic in the room. Stopping time. It wasn't advancing. Only breath sounds, curtains drawn and isolated from sound.
She knew she had occasionally forced herself out to make a living, despite her lack of appetite.
By the time ten days had passed, the alarm on the phone had gone off, she. That's right, the alarm he set for it to disappear in time.
He took a shower, his body under the water visibly losing weight. Even his appearance has changed.
How was it ten days ago? He had a hard time thinking. It was as if his worldview was being rewritten.
Of course, as another villain in fiction.
She put on the clothes she had prepared and left without drying her hair.
She took her phone from the table.
His phone and line had been changed. Moreover, everyone in the Ji family has been blocked. She didn't want to see anyone, at least until she cleared her head.
During this time, she focused on the only thing that kept her busy and somewhat distracted, the shots.
As he entered the set, the entire crew focused on him. Ahamon in particular, his eyes widened in shock. Her appearance…as if she really was Thaini out of fiction.
Had he worked on editing in 10 days? This progression could not only be called perfect, it seemed to keep the character you know alive.
This numbness, this indifference...
But no. Thaini wasn't just that. It's she, the villain of fiction she. A genius whose worldview is distorted. He has a different mindset than everyone else. Therefore, looking like Thaini didn't mean she could think like him.
She gave time to work by holding the script in her hands.

-Thaini: You're weird. Your desires are quite absurd. You are willing to waste time on these dreams just to satisfy those temporary and stupid feelings that you will never get again. When you are satisfied, the dose you take seems less to you. So you want even more over time. You enter a cursed cycle of being held captive until consumed by your desires.
------
The sentence, which had previously seemed rather absurd and distant, now makes quite a lot of sense. Yun wrote this? But his mindset was right.
Even if Yun didn't have that mindset. He had the empathy to bring such a character to life, no, not empathy, but analysis. It is strange that those who study psychology always have a mentally disturbed relative.
He was actually a little interested in the character he played that role.
Unaware of its further consequences.

-Funtranz: So? What were you doing if you were free from desires?
____
His eyes went to the bottom line.
------
-Thaini: I use desires.
___
His mindset matched the current Thaini, not completely accepting it. Slowly...
The mind structure, which was renewed as a result of a fairly rapid destruction, was structured with a slow but solid pitch.
When it was said, "Filming is about to begin", Nanren had gone over these lines countless times and was flooded with countless thoughts.
When everyone was ready, Nanren proceeded to the stage. Every movement and mood seemed to have changed.
If she was acting as Ren, she was now living as Thaini.
"Let the shooting begin!"
His eyes widened as the cameraman proportioned.
And also Ahamon. The crew was also in shock.
"All of you" are words spoken so calmly. However, in the script, these were the words of revenge that were said with ambition.
"He's improvising!" He was rewriting the character himself!
"You will die"
His tone was soft, but that softness was like cold snakes rubbing against their bodies. Barely, soft voice has never been so deadly.
His gaze was venomous, oddly bursting when caught on camera.
And at that moment, the few people in the crew who had been fired as a result of causing all this by abducting him, but stubbornly aiming for revenge by sneaking in now, shuddered from head to toe.
Their bodies were dirty and they could not move.
They were hidden and far behind. There was a crowd ahead of them, so who could tell them why that vicious iris was targeting them, and that the long distance between them was unreasonably shortened by their gaze?
