Babylon

The city of Sacred-Heart has a particular urban organization. At the center of the city, a huge composite building, Babylon, was erected on what used to be an emerald-colored hill in ancient times. Babylon was made up of a pile of constructions built progressively at different times of human history. Thus many different architectures coexist - baroque, industrial, gothic, neoclassical, etc. It spans over such an extended area that Babylon could be seen as a city of its own.

My Truth

“Citizens of the United States of Europe, today is a historical day that will be remembered! You may already know that lately has been a really hard period of my life, particularly when I decided to resign from my position as the president of the Federation. Countless newspapers and journalists in the media have been conducting an unfair campaign against me ever since. Not only are they not satisfied with destroying my personal reputation, I am regularly harassed every time I’m out to sponsor a charity.

Past Election

The first one, Snow, has appeared as the strongest and most independent of all three characters since she benefited from a reputation of being a good student who also dedicated her free time helping others. However, looks are deceiving. People fail to realize that Snow struggles with issues within her peculiar family, in spite of being a rich and loving one. While Snow’s popularity at school is one that any would wish for, Eight could be considered as one of the most despised students in the whole academy - people say that he is weird and unfriendly thos that tries to talk to him.

Being Constant

What drives people to flock altogether and partake in social interactions? It was once said that humans are social creatures, meaning it is in their very nature to seek and interact with other human beings. As for myself, I’ve been living deep in a secluded wood on an island for the past two decades now. In spite of being locked down in one of the most remote places on the planet, I desperately need to tell myself regularly that I was productive enough during last weekend.

Trip to the Island

“This is my last wish, please let me die as a true warrior who fought with pride alongside his comrades.” These were the last words that I spoke before the girl, whom my teammates and I were ordered to kidnap, delivered the fatal blow. She slowly lifted my sword and cleanly slit my throat open. Streams of blood started flowing vigorously. It was a sunny day and the wood where I laid seemed almost peaceful if it weren’t for the small scarlet pond that had my hair drenched little by little.

As I watched over Them

I have been tailing this person for some time now. Last month, the Syndicate issued an order to track a new target. As low ranking members of the organization, we aren’t usually told very much about the reason why they need to approach targets. Sometimes, they need to get rid of someone. Sometimes, they kidnap the target and leverage her for blackmailing. Whatever the reason is, I’ve only ever executed orders without asking any question.
