After the tragic disappearance of her husband, Minji, with a trembling heart and shaking hands, sent her son on a journey, even despite her internal resistance that he might embark on a perilous voyage into the unknown. Her resistance was such a fierce force that it seemed like a storm raged in her soul, yet the inner voice of the young explorer prevailed, and he moved forward.
After many sleepless nights spent in prayers for the possible return of her son, Minji, pulsating with excitement, obsession for the path she set her son upon, witnessed his return. Her heart beat so loudly, like a hammer on the embrasure, as she saw his figure emerging at the threshold of the mystical gates.
In the moment when her eyes first glanced upon her son's visage, her world stopped for a moment. Her breath caught, and her eyes couldn't believe that he stood before her. He was alive but profoundly changed, as if he had gone through fire and water, and this change would remain etched on his soul like a scar.
His eyes were shrouded in the darkness of mystery, yet simultaneously reflected profound wisdom, as if he had delved into the very essence of a cosmic enigma. He emerged from the gates with newfound understanding, new skills, and now stood before her as a different person, whose soul and body underwent transformation.

Her inner world was so disparate that it was as if thunderclouds had gathered within her chest, and lightning flashed in her eyes. She felt an incredible mixture of excitement, blended with tenderness and the bitterness of days gone by.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, mingling joy and astonishment. She couldn't tear her gaze away from this renewed figure standing before her, like a living enigma. Living proof that the journey through the gates transformed her son, turning him into a new form, yet preserving his essence.
As she began to move slowly toward him, as if in a trance, she felt the ground beneath her feet starting to melt away. Step by step, she approached him, transcending space and time, as if her love for her son was so potent that it could shorten the distance between them.
Tears of happiness and concern flowed down her cheeks as her son's silhouette became clearer and more distinct. She cast her gaze upon his form, but at that very moment, the sweet moment of reunion was interrupted by the resounding thud of a boot. One of the soldiers stationed for control stood before Minji, blocking her path.
"Please stay in place, citizen," he said with a hint of sternness in his voice. Suspicion reflected in his eyes, and his hand rested on the hilt of his weapon, ready for action.
"But he's my son! My son has returned to us!" Minji pleaded, looking at the soldier with fury and desperation. She attempted to walk past him, but his clearly expressed reluctance steadfastly blocked her path.
At that moment, a police officer approached her, extending his hand to stop her. "We understand your feelings, Miss Minji, but a security protocol is in effect here. You're not permitted to approach the 'gate' zone."
