In a world that punishes weakness, can caution protect fury and can fury teach caution how to live? When survival turns into something deeper, the greatest risk might not be dying... but caring. In DREAM Online, trust is a weapon and love might be the deadliest one.

And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part.

And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore.

Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable.
