String (2024-)

In Metropolis, Yoon-Sook Namgung navigates a world defined by two distinct connections. Blue threads link sexual partners, while dark black ones bind murderers to their victims. Her ability to see these strings has made her an unconventional resource for those seeking answers about infidelity or unsolved crimes. Her own life, however, was never part of the pattern. That changed the moment she observed a single, stark black string extending from her own body. This connection signifies only one of two fates: she will soon commit a murder, or become a victim herself. The city continues its daily rhythm, unaware of the fatal tether now anchored to her.
