Taking Back This Battered World

As the number of domestic violence rises during the pandemic, Stephanie and Mark team up to deliver the universal basic income for the victims. ============= VOL 1 COMPLETE! Just another quarter. Just another semester. And it became another year. Even the animals at the zoos developed strange behaviours when being kept in cages. Let alone humans. With all the mobility being restricted, what had become of the most agile, most cultured, most forward-thinking species? ~*~ Stephanie is the head of a Companionship service, a talking friend serving as a physical presence in the post-pandemic world where the pandemic left only 25% of humanity. After saving Mark, a reintegrated ex-inmate, together they unravel cases of hidden domestic violence. Proposing the government to grant a financial safety net, they hope that the victims of domestic violence and other underprivileged people left without dreams can rebuild their lives in the new era. As challenges arise along the way to achieve this, Stephanie encounters new people on her path, and more importantly, a colossal shift in her reality.

Thousand Miles Apart

With the disagreement, it was only natural that Frost and Flower and Chihiro didn't renew the barrier strengthening that they usually did monthly.

As a result, the simulation blared with its noisy alarm that echoed throughout their house. Frost Flower and Chihiro had slept the night in different bedrooms because they couldn't stand lying next to each other while their brains concocted all the wrong reasons to start ditching the other. Therefore, when the morning hadn't yet broken but the obnoxiously loud shriek woke both men up, one assumed the other would rise and take care of it.

Until around half a minute of the disturbance.

Frost Flower groaned and wiped his palms on his face, kicking the residual sleepiness to the curb. He didn't have enough resting time because of his coordination with Reynaldo.
