Tower's Judgement [3]

["Han Jiho, are you guilty of being a sinner?"]

A human being's sin was a stigma of being alive — in memorial or physical, but whether or not it was committed by mistake or by choice was something the sinner only knows.

Even though that was the cycle of human life — to live, to sin, to move on, and to keep surviving, Jiho, standing inside the dim yet serene Area of Fealty, where countless miniature stars, acting as a wall, were fluid like a viscous yet-to-be-dried abstract painting, was greatly perplexed by the seventh question from the Administrator.

Various thoughts flooded his mind at the moment. He wasn't sure whether to answer Yes or No, though every human being was guilty of being a sinner at some point in their life.

But the Administrator's question, at least based on Jiho's perspective, contained hidden meaning. It was broad in a sense, but the subtlety of the Administrator's voice made Jiho feel that he was truly being judged.
