The next day, after a brief but necessary return to our own shelter, Joon-ho and I take the time to recharge. The comforts of a hot shower, proper food, and the simple luxury of sleeping on a comfortable mattress do wonders for our spirits and physical well-being. These moments of respite are rare and invaluable, offering not just physical rejuvenation but a mental break from the constant stress of survival and the weight of decisions that rest on our shoulders.
Once we're settled and have taken the time to gather our thoughts, we gather Hye-jin and Sue for a debriefing. It's important that they're kept in the loop, not just as members of our group but as individuals whose lives are directly impacted by the information we've uncovered and the decisions we're poised to make.
