Prologue

The autumn wind was bleak, mixed with the biting chill of early winter, sweeping through the city nestled by the sea.

A sanitation worker in an orange uniform was diligently sweeping the fallen leaves that covered the road. Just as they were gathered to one side, a sudden gust of wind scattered the leaves again.

A few unlucky ones were caught by the wind and drifted to the center of the road, only to be mercilessly crushed by speeding tires before they could find a resting place.

Looking at the disheveled road surface once more, the sanitation worker sighed helplessly, "Ah... when will this ever end?"

Behind her stood the most awe-inspiring place in the city, and indeed the entire Ares State. An exquisite national emblem hung in the center of the building, complementing the time-worn gray stone pillars, exuding a solemnity amidst its antiquity.

The gavel, symbolizing justice, fell onto the square base with three crisp sounds, ending the debate as if locking a cage laden with shackles, sealing the fate.

"According to Article 182 of the Penal Code of the United Federation, the judgment is as follows:"

The woman in the defendant's seat, her face pale, pressed her dry lips together, listening expressionlessly as the Judge read out a long string of mechanical sentencing words without a hint of resistance, as if detached from the proceedings.

"Based on the verdict of the jury and the provisions of the law, I hereby sentence the defendant Emily Beryl Bonin to death for first-degree murder."

It wasn't until the final syllable of the word fell that the woman's eyes finally welled up with a touch of red, a fleeting trace of unwillingness and helplessness in her dark pupils. Yet, this sense of helplessness was worlds apart from that of the sanitation worker sweeping the road outside the courthouse, transcending the boundary between life and death.

Her hands, resting on the table, were unwillingly twisted together, leaving red marks that drew no comfort or attention from others despite the pain.

Without looking up, she knew that everyone in the room, except for her lawyer, was staring at her with a look of "deserves what she gets."

She had seen such gazes many times in just a few months, filled with ridicule and malice, unreservedly destroying her courage.

The overhead lights were extremely bright, as if even the light in this solemn place had taken on a sharp edge, stinging her eyes.

Warm tears welled up and slowly fell down the woman's gaunt cheeks, hidden amidst the noisy trial.

The mahogany handle was held in the judge's hand, the palm brushing over the engraved wheat and gears on the handle. As it was bathed in the light once more, its task was also completed.

The final blow.....
