Summary
The Republic of Asteris is perfect.
The trains are always on time. The streets are spotless. The citizens are kind, orderly, and obedient.
At the center of the city, a hooded prisoner sits chained to an execution post.
No one knows his face.
No one knows his age.
No one seems to know his name.
Only the word hanging around his neck:
TRAITOR.
People buy coffee beside him. Children play around him. Everyone walks past.
Until Park Jimin arrives.
“Why is no one looking?”
“Because there’s nothing to see.”
But the more Jimin returns to the silent figure in the rain, the more he begins to question a city that has forgotten how to question itself.
Because the most dangerous thing in Asteris isn’t a traitor.
It’s remembering that he’s human.
