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. In fact, people from Babylon never interacts with people from outside the tower. All around Babylon, an endless area of miserable buildings and shacks was divided into multiple districts. This destitute area is where the vast majority of the population lives. My name is Canau Ghyn and this where I live. Today, I’m over 80 years old but I’ve never left the place where I was born but once, the District Nine which is notorious for being the highest ranking district among all.

“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. Days hardly get by without hearing about the latest scandal about Christian Zhu and his allegedly corrupted friends. So much that the controversy has become one of the hottest topics of discussion between colleagues and friends, separating those who support Christian’s legacy and those who think that the man was too white to be true.
