A teenage girl with shoulder-length dark hair and a brown jacket holds out a worn photo to a middle-aged man in a suit on a quiet Seoul street at dawn. She looks determined but uncertain; the man appears skeptical. A ghostly white dog with faint, mist-like edges stands at her side. The street is dimly lit with bluish twilight and a few glowing streetlamps, evoking a cinematic and mysterious atmosphere.
Jia wakes before dawn, guided by a map, an old photo, and something deeper.
Chapter 37 of "Forged in Ancient Fire" is live: Doubts in the Dawn.
