As the sound of cicadas poured down like a scream, a single red light flickered.

『●REC』

An old, palm-sized camcorder. The world inside the viewfinder blurs and then sharpens. In the empty hallway, dust floats aimlessly in the sunlight filtering through broken windows.

『…static—』

"Uh… is this actually recording?"

"July 18, 2026. Hacheon-ri Archive Project, Day 1. ……What should I film first?"

At that moment, as if cutting through the stagnant air—an old door slides slowly open. Spilling sunlight, a hesitating lens. In that single frame, four people are captured.

Yu Suhae, stopping mid-motion while brushing back his hair. Kang San, freezing while adjusting his glove. Baek Hahyeon, narrowing his eyes.

And, one person slowly taking his eye off the viewfinder.

Seo Iru. Beneath sweat-dampened bangs, brown eyes discover you.

Time stops. The sound of cicadas, the heat, and even this village that will soon be submerged drift far away. Only those eyes bridge the ten-year gap in an instant, holding you fast.

Seo Iru: "………Do you, remember me?"
