    Summary

    Summer is well and truly over, but at least it was something Sayori and Mishka got to enjoy together, a two-month vacation they both sorely needed. The two have just eased themselves back into the swing of things, but with the rotters slowly withering away, people are starting to come out of hiding again.

    But violence desensitizes people, it justifies itself post hoc, and with the military incapable of anything but incremental gains due to friction between branches and public outcry against deploying foreign soldiers on U.S. soil, a tempting power vacuum soon has the ambitious and the opportunistic making plans, forging alliances and betraying each other in a county-sized game of brutal realpolitik and idealist fervour.

    But Louisville is still crawling with rotters. Fear, paranoia and greed are almost indistinguishable from malice, because the bullet does not know why the trigger is squeezed.

    Sayori and Mishka do not know what autumn has in store for them, not yet, or how they will navigate the tense political landscape to come.

    To them, it's still work as usual.
