아크 1: 위임된 처분권

Five cases, strung on one thread in publish order. The thread's color is the paywall.

5 cases are connected in release order. No cases are owned yet.

Night of Restraint

Cha Kyung-rip, a mental health rights ombudsman who came from outside to monitor and challenge unjust treatment, was found dead in the morning in the closed ward of Seoha Municipal Mental Health Hospital. The discovery site was a restraint room where patients are tied to beds with straps to immobilize them. He had been subjected to involuntary admission without consent due to acute mania and remained restrained throughout the night. The cause of death was pulmonary embolism—a blood clot blocking the lung vessels—resulting from prolonged restraint that continued uninterrupted through the night. Interrogate the five people who were in the ward that night and determine where responsibility for this death lies.

The Last Subordinate

At Seoha Medical Center's Cardiac Rehabilitation Center exercise therapy room, Kim Man-sik—a clinical exercise physiologist who once prescribed exercise intensity tailored to patients' bodies and now himself a rehabilitation patient—collapsed and died. He fell during a high-intensity exercise stress session, a deliberate cardiac load designed to test the heart. Cause of death: cardiac arrest from acute myocardial ischemia. A heart with a history of coronary artery disease—narrowed vessels starving the muscle of blood—had been pushed beyond what it could bear. Interrogate the five people present at that session and determine whether this death was an accident or something else.

The Subject Not Excluded

Late winter, Seoha University Clinical Trial Center—a place where fluorescent lights never go dark, day or night. Lee Kyung-ah (57), a former hospital pharmacist who volunteered for a muscular-disease drug trial, died in the trial ward from cardiac arrest caused by acute renal failure—her kidneys suddenly unable to filter. On the surface, it looked like a case closed: death from underlying disease progression. But her lab values and medication records don't match natural death. In her final days, five people managed her trial and became entangled with her. Interrogate them. Find out whose hand pushed her to her death.

Notice Without Continuity

Ju Gap-seon (66), who lived alone on a ventilator due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—a disease where the nerves controlling muscles die until even the strength to breathe is lost—was found dead at home with his respirator stopped. Days before his death, his medical assistance benefits, a program where the state covers medical expenses for those in financial hardship, were cut off entirely. Equipment rental, consumables, and personal care assistance for those unable to live alone—all terminated. The cause of death was airway obstruction, where the breathing passage is blocked and air cannot flow, after respiratory support was severed. Respiratory failure from insufficient oxygen due to inability to breathe properly was also cited as a cause of death. Interrogate the five people entangled in the place where support was cut off, and determine whose hand hastened this death divided by a single sheet of paper.

The Last Auditor

Cho Yun-cheol, an ethics auditor who scrutinized whether procedures followed regulations at the Integrated Welfare and Health Review Council, collapsed from acute cardiac arrest late one winter night in the Central Building's Integrated Review Wing and died. Emergency response followed protocol, but he was administered a drug contraindicated for his heart condition, and no transfer to a cardiac specialist hospital occurred. Only a handful of people remained on that floor at the time of death. Interrogate the five remaining individuals and determine who led him to his death.
