As the room fell quiet, Min Yoon-ji, the Twilight Sorceress, leaned forward and asked, "Is it coming early this year?"
Tae-hyun nodded. "Yes, it is," he replied. "That's why we have to be prepared. We can't afford to lose many people."
The room grew tense as everyone realized how serious the situation was. An early wave meant they would have even less time to get ready, making things more dangerous.
Seo-ha, always the one to lighten the mood, jumped in with a grin. "Well, you guys are lucky it didn't take long for you to get back," she said with a laugh. "Where did the global system summon you last month?"
Her sudden excitement broke some of the tension in the room, drawing curious glances from the others as they waited for a response.
Tae-hyun answered, "The Tower."
