The door opened as if summoned, revealing a long, triangular hallway. Adam swallowed hard, his muscles shaking. "Go, drop and jump," he told himself.
When he arrived, the door was already open. The air inside was cold, damp, and filled with the scent of incense. His footsteps echoed as he walked through the large hall.
"Hello? Send it to Mr. Kim!" Adam called out.

He placed the basket on the table and signed the receipt. As he turned to leave, his eyes were caught—a soft, golden glow from a room to his left. Curiosity drew him in.
"Don't do it," he whispered.

Adam looked at the glowing text and knew it was coming. "No ... it's not a mistake."
