3 Kim Kitsuragi "A fitting testament to the lives lost," the lieutenant says as he turns toward the plaza. He holds one hand against his chest, the other is outstretched -- palm flat to the air.

  • 117
103 Kim Kitsuragi He nods. The roundabout is quiet, almost eerily so under the brilliant sunlight. The penumbral griever is a silhouette against the bright sky, the flowers lifting him in requiem starting to wilt...

137 You "I really don't need to be judged like this, especially after the amount of tax I've paid."
