Two days later. LUMEN's conference room.
Soorin was not in the conference room.
She was in the kit prep room two floors down, doing post-tour inventory. Hands busy. Brain occupied. Exactly where she needed to be. Checking expiry dates. Restocking depleted products. Reorganising the sections that had shifted during transit.
It was satisfying. She was not going to explain that to anyone.
Daehyun was at the adjacent station doing his own restock.
"They have been in there for forty minutes," he said.
"I know."
"Manager Park called it an emergency meeting."
"I know."
"Do you want to know what it is about?"
She looked at him. "Do you know what it is about?"
He straightened a row of product. "I might."
"Daehyun."
"NYXALIS dropped something this morning."
She stopped what she was doing. "A track?"
"A track and a statement."
She looked at him.
He had already pulled his phone out and was scrolling.
"How bad is the track?" she said.
"It is actually very good."
