The world hides more than it shows. Behind familiar streets and ordinary lives lies a quiet foundation of control, built on lies most will never glimpse.Amid it all walks a boy whose sharp eyes miss little, even if he doesn’t yet grasp the shape of everything he sees. The city breathes around him: the whispers of markets, the iron gaze of government towers, the sea winds brushing past locked gates. Each step draws him closer, though he does not yet know to what.
