January 29th
I’m not sure when it all started, but looking back at old childhood photos, I can see some pretty strange patterns in my life. Like being dressed up by my mom in matching Christmas-themed outfits (I wonder if that was intentional). And there are these two photos where the three of us are in the frame, and my dad’s expression is so odd, like he’s not really happy to see me.
My name is Nat, and I’m just a regular citizen of Usakane, a country under a fake democracy ruled by President Siddha Detdechawong.
I don’t know why I’m being watched, but if it’s because my horoscope doesn’t align with the country’s, that seems a bit too far-fetched, haha. I’m just the child of ordinary shopkeepers. What could I possibly do?
According to my horoscope, I’m just a disobedient servant. I’m not destined for great wealth or power. I’m not beautiful, rich, or talented. I don’t know why they’re reading into my thoughts when the horoscopes of other politicians are so much more powerful.
Or maybe it’s about taxes and the universal healthcare program. I’ve been sickly since I was a kid, so I must have drained a lot of resources. But it’s still a tiny percentage compared to the corruption of many politicians. As they say, "A person’s value depends on who they know, not what they do."
But from my years of dealing with this, I’ve come to the conclusion that the political events in Usakane are all staged or part of some conspiracy. The conflicts we see on the surface are just a show. Behind the scenes, all the factions are working together, playing their parts to deceive us (or maybe just me) and manipulate others into becoming unwitting political victims. The organization behind it all? The Illuminati!
