Wakeful Hands

Lee Yeon-ho, an external contract auditor responsible for verifying regulatory compliance at the Danha Regional Trauma Recovery Support Unit, was found dead late one rainy summer night in the third-floor lounge of the headquarters building. The cause of death was anaphylactic shock—a systemic allergic reaction that caused airway swelling and circulatory collapse. The door was locked and no emergency call was ever placed. He had scrutinized four contracted sites, earning enmity everywhere, yet his findings were always correct. Interrogate the five people who remained in the building that night and determine who led him to his death.

5 suspects

  • Kim Seok-huKim Seok-huOwner of small workshop manufacturing and delivering recovery program distribution toolsA man in his fifties who has carved objects by hand for thirty years. His voice rises whenever contracts are mentioned, and he draws a line with 'I just carved to spec and delivered.' Strong pride in his work makes him dwell on criticism for a long time.
  • Gu In-haeGu In-haeSupport Unit Overall Program DirectorA gentle therapeutic authority who calls death not an 'accident' but a 'response' or 'progression.' Guides others in second-person present tense ('Now, feel your feet touching the floor'), and returns questions with questions. Has a habit of pausing half a beat after the other person's words.
  • Kwak Yeo-ulKwak Yeo-ulSupport Unit Program Records Staff (session & distribution ledger manager)A practical staffer in their thirties who has document numbers and sequences memorized physically. When asked about responsibility, deflects with 'I only record and archive,' but when asked, states precisely what was observed.
  • Kang Hee-yunKang Hee-yunSupport Unit Grievance & Appeals CoordinatorA person in their forties who leads with intake ledgers and processing deadlines. Repeats 'I received it and forwarded it up the chain' and deflects delays to others' responsibilities.
  • Park Ha-yeonPark Ha-yeonNight Building Facilities Management OfficerA person in their forties responsible for night patrol, locking, and disaster control. When asked who was where at what time, answers precisely based on occupancy list and floor displays.
