Shinu is a young man with suicidal ideation and a fractured mind. To make sense of the world that broke him, he writes a novel — exposing injustice, false coping mechanisms, dopamine traps, extremisms, and philosophies like nihilism and existentialism, not for destruction, but for peace.

On the other side of the continent, a publisher wakes from a 30-year coma to find fiction stripped of its purpose. He reopens his publishing house and accepts submissions. One manuscript stands apart. He polishes it and quietly publishes it — just 20 copies.
One reaches an unstable young man. Three weeks later, a video goes viral — knife in hand, one word: "BC" — and the screen cuts to black.

Shinu wrote to expose the disease. Society uses his words to spread it — then names him the source. Every government wants him executed. Every headline makes him a demon.

What's waiting for him is humanity's darkest truth: the mirror is always punished for what it reflects.
