Glasses
Yujin accidentally breaks her glasses and visits an optician for a new pair. During an eye exam, she sees a small house in the middle of a field and suddenly finds herself inside it. There, she moves through three rooms, each containing a shadow version of herself. One by one, she faces and reconciles with these hidden parts she had long rejected. Through this quiet journey, she gains a new perspective and begins to grow.
