Peace has returned, but peace alone is never simple. When the mayor declares a new festival to celebrate the bond between humans and robots, Kai and Leo are "volunteered" onto the planning committee. Kai calculates the probability of disaster at ninety percent. Leo insists it will be "all vibes." What follows is chaos in the purest form: - A food debate that turns into a soup-versus-stew cook-off. - Robots trying to learn human dances, resulting in clanking pile-ups. - Sparklers that ignite haystacks in the name of "fun." Through rainstorms, bonfires, and the world's most awkward choir, Kai and Leo stumble into something unexpected: joy. And when lanterns rise into the night sky, so do sparks between them-publicly, unmistakably, and forever. Warm, funny, and tender, Chaos and Candlelight is a story about how love, like festivals, is never perfect... but always worth celebrating.

In the far future, mankind can no longer be recognized. There is no skin, only synthetics. No blood, only coolant. No soul, only circuits. At least, that's the status quo enforced by all authorities. Cities are separated by The Silver Sea, and isolated by unquestionable protocols. However, any system no matter how secure, is vulnerable to an unknown entity being inserted inside itself...

"They call me Blue, (not really), cute, right? Like a crayon, or a mood ring permanently stuck on 'bad day.' I used to run with the circus-literally. Turns out when you can see the dead and hear them whisper their ugly secrets, people think it's entertainment. Jokes on them, dead people follow me like unpaid bills, whispering things I shouldn't know about what's been done and who did it. Handy trick at parties...less handy when the people doing the whispering are missing half their faces. Basically, I got the short straw. I don't throw fire or bend steel. I talk to the dead. Or maybe they talk to me. Hard to say who's in charge. So where do you put someone like me? Same place they stick all the others with 'difficult' gifts. A prison dressed up as a hospital, where every smile hides a collar and every guard smells like bleach and regret or violence. They think the walls keep us safe. From the outside world, sure. From each other? Not a chance."

In a meticulously ordered 1955, even health is a matter of state directive. Mr. Z, a sixty-two-year-old bank clerk of no particular note, receives his "sentence" from the doctors: daily walks, not for pleasure, but to ensure he remains robust enough to serve the Realm and the Church for years to come. As sparrows flit with "pointless joy" and children sing hymns of the King while their stomachs ache, Mr. Z embarks on his prescribed exercise. Every step is an act of mandated well-being, every movement watched. He must report his walk, justify his health, and sign a confirmation that he has fulfilled his duty. The state demands not just his labor, but his very vitality. But as he observes a free-roaming dog, "harmless and therefore feared," a quiet rebellion begins to stir within his "third half"-the part that knows and does not act. In a world where freedom can be mistaken for danger, Mr. Z finds himself caught between the comfortable cage of obedience and the terrifying allure of an unscripted life. What does it mean to be a good man when even your health is a tool of the state? And how long can one simply "not think" when the world insists on thinking for you?

But this gift-or curse-comes at a cost. Memories of each loop stay with them, twisting their perception of time, morality, and each other. As their lives spiral deeper into chaos, the twins navigate the suffocating weight of their codependency, the unspoken secrets that fester between them, and the growing wedge driven by Mia-a steady but unwitting outsider who stumbles into their fractured world.
