The Last Clear of Gate NineCh. 3 · The Ones Who Don't Run
Hold still. It's broken.
Only the one?
F-rank. Silver Line contract.
This one too. And this.
Thirty-one.
She's done this every raid.
White line.
The ones who don't run.
Run. Don't stop. Don't stop for anything.
4:10.
That's the core. Break it and the gate closes.
F-rank.
4:12.
Porter—!
[Memories of Kang Yoon-hee remaining: 209]
The nurse says when I'm out we can go to Sokcho. Like last time.
You carried me on your back down the whole beach.
...Yeah. The whole beach.
I didn't remember Sokcho.
Not on the list.
I lost it before I could write it.
I can't break it.
She can.
Tell Seo Yuna the porter from the white line is calling.
Put him through.
Who is this?
Thirty-one porters' cards under your gate. I counted.
You've been busy, porter.
Come up. Alone. Midnight.
[Memories of Kang Yoon-hee remaining: 209]
Let's make this one count.
