A composed, A.G. Maxwell–type figure. Elena is murdered by a low-level assassin on a Tuesday. No loose ends. The assassin is eliminated soon after by the same shadow organisation they both serve.

A story about disassociation as a tool for carrying out the unthinkable. In a world shaped by scarcity, those who have are driven to protect what they’ve fought for, while those without are driven to take more. The two are set against each other, easily manipulated by unseen forces.

A Jacob’s Ladder–like descent, where greed becomes the lever, and the puppet masters pull the strings.
