Abandoning the body without a second thought, Yoon Seoyul let it drop. The lifeless form slipped from his grasp, tumbling unceremoniously down the ballroom's entrance stairs—limbs twisting awkwardly until it vanished from sight, fully gone. Without pause, he turned and approached him as Cheon Areum stood on his knees on the piano.
"Are you hurt?"
"No. You?"
Cheon Areum replied, his voice quieter than usual as he wiped the splatter of blood trailing down his cheek with the back of his hand. Yoon Seoyul said nothing. He slid his arms under Cheon Areum's and lifted him gently off the piano. Carefully, he set him down onto the cracked marble.

"The fire is spreading really fast... how did that even happen?"
