She stopped walking.
[Soorin: The second witness?]
Thirty seconds.
[Taekyung: Yes. Manager Park told me this morning. Come to the green room, not the briefing room.]
She changed direction without breaking stride.
The green room was empty when she got there. Mirror lights still on from yesterday. The familiar product smell that lived in every prep room she had worked in. She set her kit down and sat in the chair and waited.
Taekyung walked in eighteen minutes later, closed the door, and got straight to it.
"The second witness is one of the audio engineers from the game show," he said. "They were at the equipment station during the stage change. They saw Beomjae. In person. The position, the angle, the duration. Four seconds."
"They have been sitting on this since the game show?"
"Yes."
"Why."
"NDA with the production company. They were not sure it covered what they saw and did not know if coming forward would cost them their job."
She looked at the mirror.
