  Summary

  The streets run east in daylight and northeast after dark. The radio picks up stations that don't exist. Everyone in the city takes a yellow powder that makes it all feel normal.

  Hongjoong doesn't take the powder. Hongjoong isn't from here.

  ~~~~~

  Seonghwa has been walking between worlds for longer than years can hold. Each door scanned for a frequency that is never there. He has almost forgotten what it feels like to hope.

  The next door opens onto coal smoke, gaslight, and a signal that stops him breathing.
