### Summary
In the wake of his performance's devastating impact on a rival, Hyeon is confronted with a deceptively simple question from a judge: "Why do you play?"

While performing the complex and sinister "Mythes" by Szymanowski, he begins to look beyond his practical motivations—like military exemption—and contemplates the true meaning of music in his second chance at life, realizing his talent is not just a tool to fix the past, but a calling he must now define for the future.
