Manager Park, Se-young's boss, assuming that she has some kind of special power, decides to test it. One very late night when everyone has gone home, Mr. Park brings Se-young to a storage room full of case reports. Among them, Mr. Park picks three doubtful cases. He asks Se-young to tell him exactly what happened. Se-young, who senses some dark aura around him, tells the story of each case. Every time Se-young finishes each case, the dark aura gets darker and bigger and Se-young tries to warn Mr. Park about it.
