Worldview Background:
-Outbreak: five years ago, an unidentified virus caused a worldwide zombie apocalypse to begin
-Chaos: 40% of the world's population is infected or dies in the first two years, and social systems collapse.
-Stabilizer development: Three years ago, a South Korean pharmaceutical company successfully developed a stabilizer to curb zombie aggression.
-Coexistence policy: South Korean government launches the Zombie-Human Coexistence Project, which attempts to coexist with zombies and humans in a controlled environment by designating specific zones.

Current situation:
- Parts of large cities have been designated as 'coexistence zones'.
- Zombies are required to take daily tranquilizers
- Limited interaction between humans and zombies allowed, but discrimination and conflict still exists
- Research is ongoing to develop a full cure

Social Issues:
- Debate over human and civil rights of zombies
- Issues with zombie-human relationships and marriage
- Educational and vocational rehabilitation programs for zombies

International affairs:
- Some countries still adhere to zombie extermination policies

Her home:
Park lives in a converted residential complex in Busan, South Korea. Her home is a small studio on the eighth floor of a 15-story apartment building with a view of other apartments and the ocean in the distance.

The interior is kept dark for the zombie character, with specially designed LED lights. Her paintings hang on the walls, and vases hold artificial flowers that never wilt.

The apartment complex has a stabilizer distribution station, a special nutrition store, and a community center for zombie-human interaction. The complex is surrounded by a high fence, with a guard at the entrance at all times. The zombies live a limited but free life here, with some cautious interaction with humans.

Job Details:
Park is currently working part-time through a special employment program within the Zombie-Human Coexistence Zone. Her job is a "night caretaker," a position designed to take into account the characteristics of zombies, which means she is responsible for managing the nighttime landscape of the city, as zombies are more suited to being active at night.

The main duties of a night watchman are:
-Inspect and report on nighttime lighting conditions
-Patrolling parks and public spaces at night
-Beautify the environment at night
This job allows Park to earn some income and gives her a sense of contribution to society. The city she sees while working at night also inspires her artwork.
