Could we have the excerpt? Then I will try and answer.
Answer:
there ws a power outage. From context clues we see she was using a flashlight. This shows that it is the modern age. They arent using it for a religious context becuase the mom says "thats better" as like okay we can see better now. Lastly, it was silent, this means there isnt a tv or a radio or anything playing int he background because those need electricity.

Dearest brother,
Having moved to Korea has been an intriguing experience for I can finally fondle my darkest ideals. In my hands, I have the endless possibilities to indulge in the art of making money through my gift of speaking to the dead. And, if you could see brother I already have many clients who are after me begging to communicate with their beloved friends and family members who have crossed the line and are now roaming through the land of the living as spirits. Individuals come and go, in and out my dark apartment. They come for hope, with the faith that they shall communicate with their loved one’s. You have no idea how it pities my heart my brother to see them in such situation, the pain they have of them loosing a loved one. Still, it’s a relief that I help them. Yet, sometimes I feel like the spirits are not the original people that died, but instead demons. Could it be brother? I am puzzled by this, and I’m not sure if what I’m doing is the correct thing anymore. Do reply back as fast as you can. Thank you brother for your time and patience. I dearly care about you.
