Tw: death, murder, depression
The first time Song Nari fell in love with physics, was when her mum took her up to her workplace (an observatory) she let little Nari look through the telescope, she told her how to zoom in on the moon and how stars were so much more than pieces of sparkle in the sky. After that day, somehow she just knew that she wanted to explore space, understand the way matter worked - learn how to time travel do all those cliche things. It just felt right.
5 years later, Nari was 15 and she was stood infront of a ‘do not cross sign’ watching as her mothers body was slowly wheeled into the back of an ambulance. Her father was sitting inside, his hands shaking with grief. She didn’t go with them. She just sat there on the street for hours, wondering how she’d ended up in this mess of a state.
After the funeral things became a lot clearer, her mother was having an affair with a rich politician, she wanted him to leave his family and run away with her. If he didn’t agree, she would tell everyone about their relationship. She was murdered in her own house a mere week later. So Nari investigated.
But justice didn’t really come to light, the court case was abruptly halted. Her father was paid off, threatened. Differing alibis and cover ups meant that all the evidence Nari had spent hours finding (in secret of course) was all neglected by the authorities. It was a cover up and a big one.
This is perhaps where most of her hate came from towards the system she lived in. Nari promised to work harder, her father was now heavily depressed, having lost the money they were given to gambling and being kicked out of work. This meant that she soon took on extra jobs to pay for their living expenses. It meant working night shifts at 16 and doing math equations while cooking, but Nari never gave up and after acing her exams she found herself with a scholarship to Yonsei.
So currently things are better, Nari works at a cafe on campus and commutes from home (because she still has to pay living expenses for her dad but he’s slowly getting back to work) and took on the role as Leader of the Derelicts at the start of the year, she’s a pretty brazen leader and won’t hesitate to punch someone if they’re bullying one of her clique. But within her group she’s very much a good listener and always there to help out.
