Silence falls. **Awakening in a New Body** (Owen in Sun-Hee’s body) 119. Owen blinks awake, and everything feels different. 120. The store seems smaller, and he towers above. 121. Owen tries to gasp but the sound is strange, softer, higher-pitched. 122. He stares at his hands—now wrinkled, delicate, with painted coral pink nails. 123. His limbs feel light, somewhat achy, and not at all like before. 124. Clutching the cart for balance, he stumbles, making a little “nghh…” sound, shocked at the unfamiliar voice. 125. Owen hears each breath in a new, older rhythm. 126. He looks down at his new outfit and body. **Studying His Outfit and Body (list 1-20, detailed)** 127.

Owen-Sun-Hee struggles to form words. 163. “Y-yes, I tink… I need-a sit down. My, uh, foot… little h-hurting, maybe.” 164. Naomi sighs. “I told you, mom, you should’ve rested.” **Sun-Hee’s Experience in Owen** 165. Meanwhile, Sun-Hee suddenly finds herself in Owen’s small body, blinking up at Harper. 166.

The simultaneous wish between him and Sun-Hee feels electric in memory. 184. “Maybe somehow my wish to go home… made me swap places with the lady?” Owen-Sun-Hee wonders. 185. The thought makes his newly painted nails curl nervously. **Attempting Communication** 186. Owen-Sun-Hee leans to Naomi and says: “I tink… I feel… not myself today.” 187. Naomi frowns, thinking it’s just her mother’s mood again. 188. “Do you want water, mom?” 189. Owen-Sun-Hee nods awkwardly. 190. Naomi leaves for the beverage section. **Exploration and Adaptation** 191. Owen-Sun-Hee gingerly walks in circles, adjusting to platform sandals. 192.
