As the sun begins to set over the city of Uljin, casting long shadows across the rubble-strewn streets, I find myself gathered with a small group of trusted allies in a secluded corner of the City Hall shelter. The air is thick with tension and anticipation, as we all know that the decisions we make in the coming hours will have far-reaching consequences for us all.
I look around the room, taking in the faces of those who have come to hear what I have to say. Lee, the leader of the Supermarket shelter, sits to my right, his expression guarded and thoughtful. Min-soo, the head of the City Hall shelter, is seated across from me, his brow furrowed in concentration. Yong, Han, and Joon-ho are also present, their faces a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.
