Keith had no particular knowledge, he had never studied for lack of money and his social rank did not allow him any high work position anyway. The only thing he knew how to do well was to arrange flowers, he loved flowers.

His mother had left him her little earrings of white flowers. He cherished them more than anything. They were the only proof he had of his mother's existence. That and the memories his father could share in his drunken episodes.


To find work Keith had opted in a last resort of hope to be a servant for the Baroni family. They were the ones who had control over his city, they were one of the biggest families of Dolce.

The Dolce ; they had allowed many scientific advances and had participated in the donation of their bodies to many vaccines. They were known for the Padiole-17, the vaccine that had saved humanity from this same disease.
It had destroyed a part of the components of the DNA, it became mutant, and it was impossible to have children. People died once they were past their twenties because of a failure of their immune system which allowed the proliferation of diseases.

Humanity had managed to regulate global warming only to have their own bodies kill them.

But for Keith this kind of thing was still his everyday life.

His family had been part of a Doume group. 

They would meet in secret, giving each other advice on how to survive, or whether they could find doctors, food, and how to escape the hunts.

It was a good time, Keith had good memories of it, it was nice to still have some solidarity.But those days were gone, he had never been there again.

Anyway, he doubted that there were still many members left. They had been decimated during the last great hunt.

It was a denunciation if he remembers well, and his family had paid a high price. His mother. Keith sometimes wished that the Dolce didn't exist, it would have saved him all this suffering.

But today it was good that they were there, because it was his last chance to find a job.
