Scene I: A City in the Dark In the heart of the bustling metropolis Lehdi, a city known for its culture of hues, rich heritage and vibrant populace, an ominous plot was unfolding. Suicide rates in the city had been rising steadily, driven by the relentless pace of post-modern life. The antagonists of our story, calling ’em Solitude and Strainer, lurked in the dark, preying on gullible souls, the ones shrouded in melancholy.

Strainer, the god of demand, with a sly grin, laxed chaos of the 21st century world. He whispered relentless demands, cyberbullying, and the quest for social media victory into the ears of his victims.

The narrative they wove together threatened to snuff out every glimmer of life energy from their occupier.
