‘They say that fear comes from ignorance. It’s the reason why one feels a sharp fear from seeing the pitch-black depths of the ocean or the vastness of space. It’s because it is impossible to predict what might be out there…’ Ha Soo-Yeong thought as she watched Sun-Woo approach her. She wasn’t too sure why these thoughts were suddenly coming to her.
"Ha Soo-Yeong." Sun-Woo called her name.
"Uh, yeah? Yes?" Ha Soo-Yeong was on the floor. She nodded, barely managing to answer. She couldn't gather the courage to lift her head and look at his face.
At that moment, Ha Soo-Yeong was struck with a newfound realization. Sun-Woo was better at handling spells than she was. He might even use spells that she didn’t know about. He might know how to turn someone into a zombie without using the zombification drug.

Her stomach churned. ‘I'd rather die than be tortured. But, I don't want to die. I'd rather become a zombie. No, I don't want to become a zombie either. I don't want any of it…’
Meanwhile, Sun-Woo was still aiming the light at her. In this situation, she had no choice but to apologize until she was forgiven. Ha Soo-Yeong adjusted her posture and kneeled down.
"I was wrong. I won't do it anymore. I'm serious."
"Enough, raise your head."
