PROLOGUE: CHAYL
People of Chayl live in a stern society where everything revolves around rules. The Government decides everything, including children’s education. Physical punishments are encouraged and required.
Domination exists in all aspects of life. Parents and children, students and teachers, police, and citizens.
People follow the same logic from the moment they are born. The Government sends them to special schools, so it’s easier to control them. After they graduate from school, they are required to go to The Governmental College. There, they must find a partner for life. By the age of twenty-four, they must be ready to get married. No relationship exists outside this logic of dominance. Society despises vanilla couples. Punishments are expected.
Failing to accomplish that is everyone’s worst fear.
The last year is known as the Junction Year.
Students are randomly put together. By the end of College, they’ll have married someone.
Nobody leaves the College alone.
