Summary
The streets run east in daylight and northeast after dark. The radio picks up stations that don't exist. Everyone in the city takes a yellow powder that makes it all feel normal.
Hongjoong doesn't take the powder. Hongjoong isn't from here.
~~~~~
Seonghwa has been walking between worlds for longer than years can hold. Each door scanned for a frequency that is never there. He has almost forgotten what it feels like to hope.
The next door opens onto coal smoke, gaslight, and a signal that stops him breathing.

Summary
Wooyoung is New Stepney's brightest stage draw; beloved, protective of his people, entirely at home in a speakeasy life he built from scratch. He ran the floor like a music box, and every night when he got up on stage he owned the room. And he saw his friends in the back corner, smiling and clapping. Just like always.
San has spent a year in New Stepney not looking for him, because there was nothing to find. He was wrong. He just didn't know it yet.
