    "story": "On September 30, Seo-yeon walks into the Ansan Chuseok table with the court order in her bag and Im already seated at the head of the register beside Appa. Ji-seok's gaze tracks her from the doorway with the slow attention of a man told she is two women. Maa's hand closes around Seo-yeon's wrist hard enough to bruise. Suspense: Appa looks at Seo-yeon, looks at Im, does not name either. Mystery: the man in the charcoal suit stands at the kitchen doorway with a tangerine cone stamped with the family clinic logo, watching. When Appa gestures toward the empty chair, Im stands, Seo-yeon's hand goes to the bag, and Maa tightens. She photographs the chair, the bruise, and Ji-seok's gaze.",
