    For Ren, ignoring them was easy- the people screaming and going after each other's necks. He didn't believe it concerned him- the alliance between his home Kingdom of Zinah and the war-waging Kingdom of Gaia. All he wanted was to continue his carefree life. He wished he listened. The cityscapes he loved so much were now nothing more than rubble. The people he knew since childhood have been either taken away or brutally killed. And when the King of Gaia took his sister, Garnet, Ren made it his life's duty to bring hell to him and Gaia the way they did to him.

    "the parable of the bridge and the river" tells the story of an empire that builds a perfect, unchanging bridge, declaring it eternal. over time, the living river secretly erodes the bridge's foundation, creating a fatal flaw. a young engineer discovers the flaw but is silenced by authorities who see any proposed change as an attack on perfection. recognizing that the system lacks a mechanism for its own correction, she takes radical, unauthorized action to strategically fracture and repair the foundation. she is put on trial but argues that her act was not sabotage but the necessary "antidote" the system itself lacked. the parable concludes with her being given the legitimized role to continuously find and fix hidden flaws, ensuring the system's longevity through sanctioned adaptation rather than rigid perfection.

Did you fall, or did you let go?"
