Lightness after finishing, rendered as a scene: just inside the front door of a Korean apartment on a bright morning, a tall stack of thick exam workbooks and textbooks tied up tightly with white string in a cross, set out on the floor for recycling, the top book's cover worn and dog-eared. Beside it, a pair of clean white sneakers placed ready to go out, and the front door already open a hand's width, letting in bright sunlight and a breeze that lifts a curtain. No people. No text, no letters, no logos on books or shoes; the covers are plain.
