Ashes Of The Perfect System

Memoirs of NX-13

About

Notice of Arrival: Coming Soon

Ah… Humeria.

A place scrubbed clean of feeling.

 Where order is worshipped, tenderness audited, and children arrive with numbers instead of names.

Here, a former Technologist called Corvus and a quiet-hearted woman named Wren are granted an anomaly: permission to nurture. The designation is XS-27. They call him Noen.

Little Star.

 A dangerous thing—to name what was meant to be catalogued.

In the margins of compliance, they build something illegal.

 Love. Laughter. Hope.

 All the things Humeria insists do not exist.

Then the system corrects itself.

When Noen acts—defends, feels, chooses—he is discarded without ceremony. Corvus and Wren are erased, reclassified as Ghosts, and expelled into the wasteland where failures go to be forgotten.

Grief fractures cleanly.

Wren turns toward quiet survival, chasing the faint promise of peace.

 Corvus turns toward fire, folding his silence into a rebellion that intends to tear perfection apart with its own hands.

One seeks escape.

 The other seeks ruin.

Both must answer the same forbidden question:

What does it cost to love…

 in a world designed to make feeling a crime?

The exhibit is not yet open.

But the glass is already cracking.
