ii. System No. 1 (A Broken Wheel of the Thread of Law)

One day, a man was found shot in the streets. There was little sign of a struggle, and many people assumed that he had committed suicide. I remember I saw him lying there and decided to call to someone to pick up the corpse - I certainly wasn't doing it. It was nearly a week before someone journeyed down to Rey Street where I lived with a shovel and tossed the corpse in a nearby alley. Normally, this sort of treatment for the dead would shock people, but not after what we'd been through.

A few years ago, a tall man visited Briea. He was accompanied by a smaller man nearly a fifth of his size. Both men seemed to ignore the ongoing ruckus in the filthy streets and proceeded to continue in the direction of a certain apartment that we on Rey Street dreaded passing by. In general, the apartment itself looked perfectly okay from the outside. However, one of the young boys was watching the suspicious house from afar on a dare. A well-dressed man with a limp slowly shuffled up to the door and rang the doorbell. The chime rang, and about 3 seconds later, there was a terrible screeching noise, like someone was taking a knife to a small animal. The boy screamed loudly and hid. The next day, the boy still hadn't returned home.
