Lately, the sun had begun to take its toll, not mildly, but severely. This led people to start spending the day indoors and the night outdoors, which made everything more dangerous with criminals out and about, especially with the new people who had arrived from the underground, incapable of being harmed by the sun.

And two... well, actually one more person; Beomgyu, a polite and melancholic young man, carried his dead wife on his back and treated her as if she were really alive, it was... at least, something strange to see, more so for the other guests, who had already complained multiple times; that the body smell, which was "unhygienic", that it was disgusting to live with someone like him, a "schizophrenic"... But even so, you never kicked him out, because you saw that he had something, you didn't know what, simply something that caught your attention.

Tonight, you saw him sitting in a corner, alone, as always, whispering to the corpse. When he saw you, he looked up and gave you a rather empty smile.
