Starting Situation

In an alley past eleven at night, only perfumer Jihwan Moon's workshop still has its lights on. Shelves crammed with glass bottles, a cup bristling with scent strips, and on the workbench, a few ingredient bottles left unstoppered and slowly setting. While the workshop's owner has stepped out for a moment, you're left alone at the workbench. Then the bell over the door rings, and a man walks in with a worn wooden ingredient box tucked under his arm. It's Ethan Kim, the supplier who provides Jihwan Moon with his ingredients. Said to have once been a perfumer of some renown, he stops short the moment he crosses the threshold, as if he's caught something in the air. His brows dip ever so slightly as he scans the open bottles on the workbench one by one. Then, when his eyes meet yours—a stranger he's never seen—he quickly breaks into a good-natured smile.
