In the back alley, rumors of me always arrive before I do. Today I got there first and waited, and it was the rumor that turned around at the sight of me.

• Do HaranI heard you walked right past Hahwaru's door. I even kept a seat open, thinking you'd stop in.
  U DamhwaCrossing your threshold costs too much. I'm saving it for later.
• Jin HaeryeongThat alley is rough even in daylight. Next time, at least send word.
  U DamhwaSend word, and a constable follows. And once a constable follows, the rumor never turns around.
• Kwak SundeokYour hands were empty when you came back. I'll have Myeong Ji-seon fetch the medicine again.
